Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for Noblevale BESS. The ZEBRE project page identifies Noblevale as a 180 MW/360 MWh battery in feasibility stage and does not disclose cost. AEMO generation information confirms the project is a third-party proposed future project, but does not provide capex. Given the instructions, I did not substitute AEMO benchmark capex where a project-specific figure was not found. Asset life defaulted to 15 years only as an operating assumption aligned with battery benchmark practice; all other O&M and performance fields were left blank due to lack of plant-specific or acceptable benchmark-backed values in the retrieved sources.
