Notes
Project identified as a 500 MW battery in north-east Victoria; planning approval and government announcements indicate a reported project cost of A$453 million. Storage duration/MWh was not found in the retrieved sources, so capex_per_mwh_aud could not be calculated. Fixed OPEX uses the provided server-side default multiplier applied to the assumed 500 MW capacity, consistent with fallback instructions when plant-specific O&M is not available.
