Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex figure was found for FNQ BESS 3 (KCI). Solquartz project pages and Townsville/Lansdown materials indicate the broader Northern Quartz Campus / Supernode North BESS is still in development, with project capacity and design details published, but no total construction cost for this specific NEM generator or a clearly attributable owner/developer investment announcement was located in the searched sources. Internal battery O&M defaults were retained as fallback values only.
