Notes: No generator-specific construction cost, O&M contract, PPA/fuel contract, heat-rate, refurbishment or closure disclosure was found for Argyle Solar Farm. Public data found identifies Argyle Solar Farm Pty Ltd as an AEMO/NEM registered participant and NEMStats lists Argyle Solar Farm as a publicly announced 60 MW single-axis tracking solar PV project with no DUID or online date. Financial assumptions are therefore scaled defaults from AEMO/Aurecon's 2024 utility-scale single-axis tracking solar PV hypothetical project. Calculation: assumed AC capacity 59.8 MW and AEMO/Aurecon DC:AC ratio 1.2 gives 71.76 MWp DC. Capex = EPC 1.15 AUD/Wdc plus land/development equal to 10% of equipment cost, where equipment is 60% of EPC: 71.76 MWp * 1.15m AUD/MWp + 0.10 * 0.60 * EPC = 87.47544m AUD. Fixed O&M = 12,000 AUD/MWp-dc-year * 71.76 MWp = 861,120 AUD/year. Variable O&M is treated as zero separate cost because the source states it is included in fixed O&M. Operational Scope 1 emissions are assumed zero for solar PV; lifecycle/embodied emissions are not included.

Financial assumptions are therefore scaled defaults from AEMO/Aurecon's 2024 utility-scale single-axis tracking solar PV hypothetical project. Calculation: assumed AC capacity 59.8 MW and AEMO/Aurecon DC:AC ratio 1.2 gives 71.76 MWp DC.
