Notes
Forest Wind is a proposed 1,200 MW wind farm. A Queensland parliamentary committee report states the project was to be fully funded and financed by the private sector, with an estimated private capital investment of $2 billion. The project remains in development/approval documents, and Forest Wind's own site describes it as a proposal subject to ongoing development assessments. For operating costs, no plant-specific O&M benchmark was found in the sourced material, so no O&M values are populated here.
