Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for Hookey Creek Hybrid / Hookey Creek Solar Farm and BESS in available web results. Project description confirms a 100 MW solar farm and 200 MW/4-8 hour BESS. In the absence of a reported project capex, only the AEMO/Aurecon utility-scale solar PV benchmark was used for operating assumptions: single-axis tracking, fixed O&M $13,360/MWp-year, 30-year design/technical life, no variable O&M. No refurbishment capex identified.
