Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capital investment was reported as $1.5 billion in the project economic impact assessment for a 436.5 MW project. Queensland government also separately referred to $776.1 million committed towards the project in 2024; this appears to be a funding commitment rather than the total project cost, so the total project capex is set to the owner-commissioned project investment figure. No verified plant-specific fixed O&M or refurbishment cost found; default onshore wind O&M assumptions used as fallback.
