$9,345.79M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$8,000.00M (2022 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Oceanex’s report gives a project-level capital expenditure range for each NSW offshore wind project and identifies Illawarra as a 2,000 MW project.

How this was derived
AEMO’s 2024 review provides an O&M assumption for a hypothetical floating offshore wind project.

Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
The AEMO review states variable O&M is embedded in fixed O&M for the floating offshore wind reference case.

Notes
No project-specific capex announcement for Illawarra Offshore Wind Farm alone was found in official owner/developer material. Oceanex’s NSW supply chain report states each NSW offshore wind project has estimated capital expenditure of A$8-10 billion; the Illawarra project is listed as 2,000 MW, so A$8 billion is used as the lower bound reported figure and implies A$4.0 million/MW. Offshore wind O&M was taken from AEMO’s 2024 Energy Technology Cost and Parameters Review hypothetical floating offshore wind case.
