Notes
Bald Hills is a 52 x 2.05 MW Senvion MM92 onshore wind farm with 106.6 MW total capacity, first export on 24 February 2015 and fully operational in May 2015. Publicly available project capex is conflicting: local reporting at construction start called it a $300 million project, while an ABC-sourced 2014 report described the project as $400 million and mentioned the 27 km grid-connection powerline; Power Technology reports $219.33m but the currency and basis are not clear. The financial_profile uses the $300 million nominal reported construction-start figure and flags medium confidence. Fixed and variable O&M, asset life and retirement/refurbishment assumptions are technology defaults from AEMO/GHD 2025 rather than Bald Hills financial accounts. Operational direct emissions and fuel cost are treated as zero for wind; heat rate and thermal efficiency are not meaningful for wind generation. Major operational/legal note: in March 2022 the Victorian Supreme Court ordered Bald Hills to abate night-time noise nuisance and pay $260,000 damages; this is an operating constraint/refurbishment-risk note, not a planned closure. No current public closure or repowering date was found.
