Revenue (× MLF)

Estimated $ per interval — energy (RRP) and FCAS (regional FCAS prices), both × MLF.

Methodology & assumptions

  • Dispatch & availability — AEMO Next Day Dispatch UNIT_SOLUTION (5‑minute intervals). Intervention intervals excluded.
  • Regional price — dispatch_price RRP matched by settlement time and NEM region (from generator registry).
  • Energy revenue (× MLF) — cleared MW × (5/60 h) × RRP × MLF.
  • FCAS revenue & volume — cleared FCAS MW from DISPATCHLOAD (raise/lower 6s, 60s, 5min, reg) × (5/60 h) × regional FCAS price × MLF. Volume is total FCAS enablement MWh across services.
  • Curtailment — estimated economic curtailment when availability exceeds dispatch target: max(0, availability − cleared) × (5/60) MWh.
  • Not settlement — estimates only. AEMO settlement applies DLF, rebids, constraints, and other factors not modelled here.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield construction cost was found in a project economic impact assessment provided to NSW planning: approximately A$250 million for the Avonlie Solar Farm project, attributed to RES. Iberdrola's 2021 announcement confirms final investment decision and states Avonlie is part of nearly A$1 billion of capital commitments across Avonlie, Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park, and Wallgrove Grid Battery; however, that figure is portfolio-level, not Avonlie-specific. O&M was not found as plant-specific data, so a benchmark-style estimate from AEMO/CSIRO large-scale solar PV assumptions was used as a fallback. The project is single-axis tracking; fixed OPEX per MW-year was inferred from the AEMO solar PV report's 40MW hypothetical project annual O&M cost ($624,000) divided by 40MW.
