Notes
Project-specific greenfield capex announcement was not found in reliable sources. The Kiamal BESS is publicly described as 220 MW / 1080 MWh by the project site, while DCCEEW lists the CIS-awarded project as 220 MW (3.9 hour) / 810 MWh at Ouyen; the discrepancy suggests an updated or revised project size. O&M assumptions were not fully published for this asset, so a battery benchmark fixed O&M rate from AEMO/Aurecon 2024 has been used as a fallback. Using the benchmark rate, implied fixed OPEX would be AUD 1,188,000/yr if applied to 220 MW.
