Notes
Riverina Energy Storage System 1 is a 60MW/120MWh battery partition within the broader Riverina project. Public sources identified the asset and its operation, but I did not find a project-specific total construction/investment cost for this 60MW tranche. As a fallback, battery O&M values were derived from AEMO's 2024 Energy Technology Cost and Technical Parameter Review; capex was left blank because no reliable plant-specific or benchmark figure was requested to be substituted without explicit need.
