Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capex was reported as a $10 billion investment for the Novocastrian Offshore Wind Farm. The project webpage and fact sheet describe it as a multi-billion investment / up to 2 GW project. O&M figures were not found for this project specifically, so offshore-wind benchmark O&M from AEMO/Aurecon 2024 was used as a fallback. The project appears to have been in feasibility/planning stage in the sourced material; a later 2025 source indicated the project would not proceed, but the requested assumptions are based on the project economics available in the retrieved sources.
