Notes
I could not verify a plant-specific project cost, capacity, commissioning date, or a reliable owner/developer source for 'Geelong BESS' under Elgin EnergyP/L from the web search results available. The retrieved results mostly related to other Geelong-area batteries (e.g., Victorian Big Battery, Little River BESS, Gnarwarre BESS) and did not identify this exact generator. Internal fallback O&M capex defaults were therefore used only as server-side placeholders where allowed, but capex_total_aud remains unset because no project-specific greenfield cost was found. Emissions intensity is set to zero for battery storage.
