Notes
No plant-specific greenfield construction cost was located in official owner/government sources from the searches performed. An owner source states Star of the South will add $8 billion to the economy, but this is an economic benefit figure rather than project capex. AEMO/Aurecon 2024 offshore wind benchmark assumptions were used as fallback for fixed O&M and project life. The AEMO modelled offshore wind case uses 174,573 AUD/MW-yr fixed O&M and 30-year technical life.
