Methodology & assumptions

  • Dispatch & availability — AEMO Next Day Dispatch UNIT_SOLUTION (5‑minute intervals). Intervention intervals excluded.
  • Regional pricedispatch_price RRP matched by settlement time and NEM region (from generator registry).
  • Revenue (× MLF) — cleared MW × (5/60 h) × RRP × MLF. Chart uses MLF effective on each interval’s date; summary total uses MLF as at the end of the selected period (same as the revenue list).
  • 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.

Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)
$173.77M

Shown in table
$173.77M (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Reported capex is for the whole Bango Wind Farm. DUID-level capex is estimated by pro-rating the reported whole-project value to BANGOWF2's 84.8 MW capacity.

Capex / MW derived
$2,049,180

Shown in table
$2.05M (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Unit capex is calculated from the reported whole-project value and capacity; no DUID-specific capex was publicly found.

Fixed OPEX (annual)
$2.12M

Shown in table
$2.12M (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Annual fixed opex is derived from the GenCost onshore wind default fixed O&M and the provided BANGOWF2 capacity.

How this was derived
No generator-specific fixed O&M cost was found; CSIRO/AEMO GenCost onshore wind default fixed O&M is used.

How this was derived
Wind has no purchased fuel input; fuel cost is set to zero using GenCost assumptions.

Heat rate GJ/MWh

How this was derived
Heat rate is not meaningful for wind; the model leaves heat rate null rather than treating it as a thermal conversion rate.

Notes
BANGOWF2-specific construction cost was not found. Reported project capex is AUD 500 million total project value for the whole 244 MW Bango Wind Farm in 2019. The capex_total_aud shown here is a pro-rata allocation to BANGOWF2 using 84.8 MW / 244 MW, preserving the original nominal 2019 reported project cost. Fixed and variable opex are technology-default assumptions from CSIRO/AEMO GenCost 2023-24, not site-reported values. Wind heat rate and thermal efficiency are not applicable. Owner page states turbine design life at least 30 years; the 2022 Environmental Management Strategy also says the wind farm operational phase is expected to have a duration of 25 years, with decommissioning or upgrades possible.

Latest AI note (4 Jun 2026)

Bango Wind Farm is a 244 MW, 46-turbine onshore wind project. Public capex sources report only whole-project value, not DUID-specific BANGOWF2 value. Therefore capex_total_aud is estimated by pro-rating reported AUD 500m whole-project value by BANGOWF2 capacity of 84.8 MW over reported 244 MW total capacity. Whole-site nominal capex is preserved in the sources array. Fixed O&M, variable O&M, fuel cost and efficiency are technology default assumptions from CSIRO GenCost 2023-24 because generator-specific O&M contracts or costs were not found. Asset-life sources conflict: project EMS says operational phase expected duration 25 years, while the current Squadron project page states turbine design life at least 30 years; financial profile uses 25 years consistent with EMS and GenCost LCOE assumptions. No public major refurbishment has been found as of this research; decommissioning/repowering is expected at end of useful life.
