Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

$819.67M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$800.00M (2025 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Project database lists Grahamvale Battery Energy Storage System with an estimated value of $800 million.

Reported / source value
$8.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon benchmark gives fixed O&M for 2-hour and 4-hour BESS; 4-hour value is $12,800/MW-year, but the final profile uses the server fallback per instructions.

Shown in table
$1.58 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$1.50 (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used internal fallback because no plant-specific variable O&M source was found and the battery benchmark excerpt did not provide a clean project-specific variable O&M figure suitable for direct application.

Notes
No plant-specific owner/developer capex announcement was found. Capex is inferred from a project database listing Grahamvale Battery Energy Storage System at $800 million and paired with the project size on the developer site (480 MW / 1,920 MWh). Fixed O&M is based on AEMO/Aurecon 2024 BESS benchmark for 4-hour systems ($12,800/MW-year), but the internal fallback was used for the final profile because the benchmark lines found were on a $/MW basis and the dataset requested battery defaults unless a plant-specific O&M source is available. The project appears proposed/early-stage rather than commissioned; capacity in the user prompt was blank, so 480 MW and 1,920 MWh were taken from the developer project page.
