Capex total (greenfield)
$2,604.17M

Shown in table
$2,604.17M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$2,000.00M (2019 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Conflicting secondary source suggesting a higher total project cost; lower confidence than pv magazine Australia.

Notes
Plant-specific reported project cost found in secondary sources describing Sunshine Energy's 1.5 GW solar PV and 500 MWh battery project as a $2 billion project. This appears to cover the full project/precinct, not just solar PV, so capex_per_mw is approximate and should be treated cautiously. No verified DUID-specific operating data found.
