Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

How this was derived
Searches located configuration and timeline information but no total project investment figure.

Capex refurbishment
Capex / MW
$1,371,308

Shown in table
$1.37M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$1.30M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

Fixed OPEX (annual)
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$12,658

Shown in table
$12.7k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$12.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used as a low-confidence operational fallback; exact solar PV SAT O&M value was not clearly extractable from the available lines, so this is an AI estimate anchored to AEMO technical assumptions.

Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Fallback variable O&M is an AI estimate for utility-scale solar PV.

Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex figure was found in the owner/developer or government sources searched. Stage 1 is described by Skylab as ~480MWp PV with 400MW/1600MWh BESS, while EDPR's page describes 400MWac solar with 400MWh BESS after acquisition of Stage 1 in August 2025. For operating assumptions, a solar PV tracking system has zero fuel use and zero direct operational emissions; asset life set to 25 years from AEMO technical assumptions. Fixed O&M is an AI-estimated fallback, not a cited plant-specific benchmark, because the requested project-specific capex search did not return a reported total project investment figure.
