Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for Ballarat Base Hospital Plant/BBASEHOS. Search results identified the broader Ballarat Base Hospital redevelopment and its new central energy plant/support services building, but the publicly reported investment figures refer to the full hospital redevelopment precinct rather than the diesel generator unit itself. AEMO/CSIRO-style benchmark values were not used for capex because the project-specific plant cost could not be isolated.
