Reported / source value
$80.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon benchmark for 4-hour BESS fixed O&M is $22,500/MW-year in the 8-hour column? Used cautiously as 4-hour BESS context requires direct interpolation/interpretation; however the report clearly states fixed O&M values by duration and that values are indicative only.

$0.00 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.00 (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
The report indicates no standard variable O&M for BESS; zero is a practical fallback assumption.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex or owner-announced total project investment was found in the searched official/public sources. Site capacity is 120 MW / 480 MWh and commercial availability was stated by ib vogt as expected from 1 July 2027. For O&M, AEMO/Aurecon 2024 BESS benchmark values were used as fallback: fixed O&M $80,000/MW-year for a 4-hour BESS; variable O&M not stated for BESS and assumed zero. Because this is a battery, heat rate and fuel cost are not applicable.
