Notes
Capex is taken from the Warracknabeal Energy Park project estimate of approximately A$2.5–3.0 billion; A$3.0 billion used as the upper-end reported estimate because no separate plant-only greenfield cost for the legacy Warracknabeal Wind Farm was found. The project appears to have evolved into the Warracknabeal Energy Park (up to 1,575 MW), so this may not precisely match a single NEM DUID/site capacity. Fixed OPEX per MW-year is an internal fallback default, not project-specific.
