Reported / source value
$0.00 (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
The benchmark table does not assign a separate variable O&M cost to BESS; it is included in the fixed component / long-term service treatment.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield construction/investment cost could be verified from owner/developer, government, or project finance sources in the search results. Pre-fetched and additional searches found the project listing and capacity, but no total project cost announcement. Using AEMO/Aurecon 2024 battery storage benchmark only for operating assumptions: fixed O&M $5,400/MW-net-year; variable O&M is not separately specified for BESS and is treated as nil in the benchmark table; indicative design life 25 years. Capacity inferred from NEMStats listing as 400 MW; no MWh duration was verified. Emissions, heat rate, and fuel cost are not applicable for battery storage.
