Notes
No reliable plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for Kerrawary Power Station. O&M and technology parameters were inferred from AEMO/Aurecon 2024 OCGT benchmark data for a large gas turbine, with fuel cost and heat rate falling back to the provided internal defaults. The fixed O&M source is for a Large GT proxy, not site-specific.
