Shown in table
$752.18M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$689.00M (2023 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
A submission filed on the NSW Planning Portal states the project's capital investment value is approximately $689 million.

Reported / source value
$15.0k (2023 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon benchmark for 1MW rooftop solar PV, used as a fallback for lack of plant-specific O&M.

Reported / source value
$0.00 (2023 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Solar PV variable O&M is treated as nil because the benchmark says it is included in fixed O&M.

Notes
Project is a 360 MW solar farm with a 150 MW/4h BESS in NSW. Plant-specific capital investment value of approximately $689 million appears in a submission referencing the project; no clearer owner-issued construction cost announcement was found in the available sources. Fixed O&M defaulted to AEMO/Aurecon 2024 benchmark for a 4.99 MW ground-mount solar PV project because no plant-specific O&M was found. Variable O&M for solar is treated as negligible.
