Notes
No owner/developer or government source with a plant-specific capex figure for this exact DUID was found in the searches. The $1bn figure is a widely cited public project announcement for the Kingfisher solar and battery project, which appears to cover the broader precinct rather than the solar-only unit; therefore capex should be treated as approximate and may not map exactly to this DUID. AEMO materials indicate Kingfisher Solar Storage as a 100 MW solar / 400 MWh battery project in South Australia, while older references also show a 17 MW solar proposal and earlier 120 MW solar / 100 MW battery concept. The solar-only registered capacity for this unit was not located in authoritative sources, so capex_per_mw is calculated using the 120 MW solar concept from legacy project references as a rough proxy, not as a verified unit-specific capacity.
