How this was derived
This is the closest explicit project investment figure found for the Hume battery project family, but it pertains to the earlier 20MW/40MWh approved Hume BESS and may not match the later Hume North BESS scope exactly.

Notes
The project is Hume North Battery Energy Storage System (SSD-61842974), developed by Infrastructure Capital Services Pty Ltd as trustee for the ARIF Hume BESS Holdings Trust. Public planning documents identify the project as 75MW/150MWh (some documents show 74MW/148MWh). No plant-specific greenfield total project cost was found in the searched sources; the $30 million figure is the planning-portal capital investment value from the project assessment, which may not represent full construction EPC cost and should be treated cautiously. Internal battery O&M defaults were used.
