Notes
Project-specific source on the Gawara Baya site states a project value of $1.2 billion. This appears to be the most relevant plant-level greenfield investment figure found; capacity used for per-MW calculation is 408 MW from the user-provided generator details. No verified refurbishment cost found. O&M values fall back to server-side defaults because no plant-specific O&M source was found.
