Shown in table
$9.00 (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Used the provided internal default heat rate because the searched sources did not expose a site-specific biogas reciprocating-engine heat rate for Shepparton.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capex could not be verified from owner/developer/government sources in the search performed, so capex fields are left null rather than using benchmark values. O&M and operating parameters use AEMO 2024 bioenergy / reciprocating-engine benchmark-style assumptions as a fallback. The site appears to have been operational since 2007 based on GV Water materials, but this is not treated as a capex source.
