Notes
Plant-specific capex was reported in the Clean Energy Australia 2016 report as a $130m investment for Pacific Hydro's Yaloak South project (28.7 MW). Pacific Blue states construction started in late 2016 and was completed in June 2018. No separate refurbishment cost found. O&M and technical assumptions use server-side fallback defaults because plant-specific onshore wind O&M benchmark values were not isolated in the retrieved sources. Asset life inferred from the community fund page stating $31,000 available each year over the 25-year life of the project.
