Notes
Project approval/reporting indicates a 250 MW solar farm with a 150 MW, four-hour battery energy storage system; total project cost reported as $651 million (AUD nominal, 2024). No project-specific battery-only capex disclosure was found in the available search results, so the total project cost is used as the best available reported greenfield figure for the battery site record. Capacity in MW/MWh was inferred from the project approval report.
