Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex figure was found in the owner/developer, government, or project pages searched. The project pages confirm Prairie is fully permitted and Wongalee remains in development, but they do not disclose total construction cost. For onshore wind, AEMO/GHD 2025 benchmark fixed O&M is $29,000/MW-yr and variable O&M is included in fixed O&M. Asset life assumed at 30 years as a standard planning assumption. Discount rate set to 7% consistent with GenCost/AEMO planning context.
