Notes
I found current official/project sources confirming the Hookey Creek Hybrid Project scope as a 100 MW solar farm plus 200 MW/4-8 hour BESS, but I did not find a plant-specific greenfield investment or construction cost from the owner/developer, government, or finance sources. Because of that, capex was left blank rather than using a benchmark estimate. Commissioning date provided by the user (2029-03-01) was not independently verified from the sources I found. The project appears to be in EPBC referral/approval stages in 2025, so operating assumptions remain unverified.
