Notes
Public sources located confirm Hazelwood BESS is a 150 MW / 150 MWh battery commissioned on 14 June 2023 and jointly funded/developed by ENGIE and Eku Energy, but I did not find a plant-specific total project investment figure attributable to International Power (Australia) Pty Ltd or the Hazelwood BESS - KCI unit. The owner naming in the prompt does not match the public commissioning/licensing sources found, so capex is left blank rather than inferred from AEMO benchmarks. Internal fallback battery O&M values were not applied because the request prioritises source-backed values and no plant-specific O&M source was found.
