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 plant-specific greenfield investment or construction cost announcement was found in the available web results.
Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MWh storage default	$350,000 Shown in table $350.0k (2026 real AUD)
Fixed OPEX (annual)	$5.27M Shown in table $5.27M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $5.00M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).
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 Used server-side fallback because no verified plant-specific O&M value was found.
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 Used server-side fallback because no verified plant-specific variable O&M value was found.

Notes
I could not verify a plant-specific greenfield capex or commissioning date for Emu Park BESS from owner/developer, government, or project finance sources. The only directly relevant source I found confirms the project exists in NEM statistics as a publicly announced 200 MW battery owned by M Renweables Australia, but it does not state cost or online date. Internal fallback O&M values were used for the missing financial assumptions. If a project-specific investment announcement becomes available, capex should be replaced with the reported nominal amount for the greenfield project only.
