Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)	— How this was derived No project-specific greenfield capex figure found in searched owner/developer, government, or finance sources.
Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MWh storage default	$350,000 Shown in table $350.0k (2026 real AUD)
Fixed OPEX (annual)	$3.16M Shown in table $3.16M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $3.00M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Annual fixed OPEX was calculated from the default per-MW value and the 120 MW capacity from NEMStats.
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr	$26,371 Shown in table $26.4k (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $25.0k (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Default fixed OPEX per MW-year supplied by user instructions was used.
Variable OPEX / MWh	$1.58 Shown in table $1.58 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $1.50 (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Default variable OPEX supplied by user instructions was used.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement or project finance figure was found for this battery project in owner/developer or government sources. The project is listed by NEMStats as publicly announced with 120 MW capacity and no commissioning date shown. Internal server-side defaults were used for capex, fixed OPEX, and variable OPEX; fixed OPEX was annualised from the default $25,000/MW-year × 120 MW. Battery storage has zero direct fuel cost and zero direct operational emissions. AEMO/CSIRO benchmark documents were located, but not used for capex because no project-specific investment figure was found and the user instructed not to rely on benchmarks unless necessary; however, the exact benchmark inputs were not extracted here.
