Notes
Project-specific public information found for the Forbes Solar Farm and BESS indicates a capital investment value of more than $30 million, but the project is still in EIS stage and not yet fully approved/constructed. Capacity in planning documents is 166 MW solar farm with 120 MW / 960 MWh BESS; the user-provided owner/technology label is treated as the battery component. Fixed O&M falls back to internal default because no project-specific BESS O&M figure was found. If the $30 million figure is intended to describe the full solar-plus-storage precinct rather than the battery-only component, the battery-only capex would be materially overstated here.
