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.

Capex total (greenfield)	— How this was derived Searches located configuration and timeline information but no total project investment figure. Reference Punch's Creek Stage 1 - SkyLab Australia (medium confidence) Source recorded 05 Jun 2026
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.

Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.26 Shown in table $0.26 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $0.25 (2024 nominal) 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.
