Shown in table
$2,109.70M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$2,000.00M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Official project website states the project cost is $2 billion+; used as the plant-specific reported capex floor.

Notes
Project website describes Junction Rivers as a "$2 billion+" wind energy and storage project. The cited capex is set to the minimum explicitly stated figure ($2.0 billion nominal) because no more precise plant-specific total project cost was found in official sources. The project website and 2024 CIS announcement also indicate 750 MW / 69 turbines and a 600 MW wind + 200 MW / 800 MWh BESS concept; capex_per_mw is calculated using the 595.2 MW DUID capacity supplied by the user. O&M for this specific project was not publicly stated; variable O&M falls back to the provided internal default. For onshore wind benchmark context, GenCost/AEMO state that onshore wind capital costs rose further in 2024-25 and include work-camp costs, but those benchmark values were not used as project capex.
