Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Shown in table
$81.08M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$60.00M (2017 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
A parliamentary table lists Kelsey Creek Solar Farm (North Queensland SF) with 50 MW and 120 (interpreted as $m) in the estimate columns, implying about $1.2m/MW and $60m total.

How this was derived
The same parliamentary table appears to indicate 120 million for 100 MW, or 1.2 million/MW, for the Kelsey Creek Solar Farm entry.

How this was derived
Annual fixed O&M was calculated using the benchmark rate and the inferred 50 MW capacity.

Reported / source value
$12.0k (2017 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon's 2024 solar PV review gives a fixed O&M cost of $12,000 per MWp-year for a 40 MW ground-mount solar PV project and states variable O&M is included in the fixed component.

Notes
No plant-specific public greenfield capex announcement was found for Kelsey Creek Solar Farm_SS. The capex assumption is therefore inferred from Queensland government parliamentary material listing Kelsey Creek Solar Farm (North Queensland SF) at 50 MW and 120 MW capex proxy values in a 2017 estimate table; this implies about $1.2m/MW and $60m total for a 50 MW plant. O&M uses AEMO/Aurecon 2024 solar PV fixed O&M benchmark for a 40 MW ground-mount project as the closest available published reference.
