Notes
Project-specific estimated development cost of AUD700 million (ex GST) found in NSW planning documents for Garoo Solar Farm and BESS. This figure appears to cover the combined solar + BESS project, so capex_per_mw_aud and capex_per_mwh_aud are calculated on the BESS registered capacity only for reporting consistency, but the underlying cost is not BESS-only. No separate plant-only BESS capex or refurbishment cost was found. O&M defaults used due to lack of project-specific operating cost data. Battery emissions intensity assumed zero.
