Notes
I could not verify a plant-specific greenfield capex announcement for FNQ BESS 2 (KCI) / Solquartz Holdings Pty Ltd from the searched official and primary sources. The available Solquartz and Queensland/Townsville sources describe the broader Northern Quartz Campus / Supernode North concept and indicate battery storage capacity up to 750 MW / 6,000 MWh (or 780 MW in an EPBC referral), but they do not provide a project cost for this specific site. Because the site-specific capacity for FNQ BESS 2 was not verified in the sources retrieved, I did not derive capex, O&M, or per-unit cost assumptions from those broader precinct figures.
