Notes
Plant-specific project cost was found in NSW planning documents for StorEnergy 3 Pty Ltd: estimated development cost AUD 244,815,000 excl. GST for a 150 MW / 730 MWh BESS. OPEX was not published as a simple per-MW figure, so fixed OPEX is an AI-derived approximation from the project’s disclosed annual operating expenditure and should be reviewed. No fuel cost or heat rate applies to battery storage.
