How this was derived
Provides the benchmark variable O&M for the solar PV review. Used as fallback only because no plant-specific O&M data was found.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement or owner/government investment figure was found for Ilford Green Energy Hub or brightnightpower_NR in the searches performed. NEMStats identifies the site as publicly announced and gives 176 MW for the solar PV single-axis tracking component with a 2029-04-01 full commercial use date. Because no verified project cost was found, capex was left blank rather than estimated from benchmarks. AEMO/Aurecon 2024 indicates single-axis tracking has higher capital cost and maintenance than fixed-tilt, but no site-specific values were available. Asset life not verified from source.
