Notes
Project-specific estimated development cost of AUD 700 million (excl GST) was found in a NSW Planning Portal pre-development application for Garoo Solar Farm and BESS. The site page and planning portal indicate the project includes solar and BESS; the reported cost appears to cover the combined development, not solar-only. Solar capacity is shown as 155 MW on the planning portal and about 134 MW AC on the project website; the NEM listing shows 160 MW. Capacity inconsistencies mean capex_per_mw is based on the 155 MW planning-portal figure as the closest official project capacity reference, but should be reviewed. No separate refurbishment cost was identified. Operating cost defaults were used for fixed/variable O&M because no plant-specific O&M source was found. Asset life assumed at 30 years as a typical utility-scale solar PV default.
