Notes
Greenfield plant investment reported by Queensland Hansard as Ergon Energy's $23 million Green Energy Power Plant at the Isis Central Sugar Mill near Childers, with construction commencing in April 2005. No plant-specific brownfield refurbishment cost found. O&M values were not found for this exact bagasse cogeneration plant, so a 2024 AEMO/Aurecon biomass/waste-style proxy was used only for O&M-related fallbacks; fuel cost, heat rate, and asset life remain unverified.
