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.

Capex total (greenfield)	$686.71M Shown in table $686.71M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $651.00M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Official NSW Planning announcement gives the project cost and the solar/battery capacities. Reference New solar farm to power up to 92,000 homes (high confidence) Source recorded 04 Jun 2026

Capex / MW	$2,746,835 Shown in table $2.75M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $2.60M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Derived solar-farm capex intensity using the reported project cost and solar capacity.

Fixed OPEX (annual)	—
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr	$18,987 Shown in table $19.0k (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $18.0k (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived No plant-specific fixed O&M source found; internal default retained.
Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.21 Shown in table $0.21 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $0.20 (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived No plant-specific variable O&M source found; internal default retained.

Notes
Plant-specific reported project cost from NSW Government planning announcement covers the 250 MW solar farm and 150 MW / 600 MWh battery energy storage system. Capex per MW is calculated on the 250 MW solar farm capacity; capex per MWh is calculated on the 600 MWh battery capacity and therefore is not directly comparable to solar-only capex benchmarks. No separate plant-specific fixed O&M or variable O&M was found, so internal solar PV defaults were used for O&M. Operational life reported in project materials is 35 years.
