Notes
Plant-specific reported capital investment of approximately AUD 880 million was found in Lightsource bp project/EIS materials. The source describes the total project capital investment for the hybrid solar farm and BESS; battery-specific share was not separately disclosed. Capacity in the prompt was not provided, so capex per MW and per MWh are calculated on the 520 MWh battery storage figure from project documents. If a different registered storage capacity is intended, these intensity figures should be revised. No reliable plant-specific O&M or fuel data found; default variable O&M used as server-side fallback only.
