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.

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.

Reported / source value
$1.33M (2017 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Calculated from reported EPC contract value and the user-supplied 100 MW capacity.

How this was derived
General benchmark source identified, but no plant-specific O&M value extracted from available search results.

$0.34 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.25 (2017 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used provided fallback because no plant-specific or benchmark O&M variable cost was reliably extracted in search results.

Notes
Plant-specific EPC contract value of A$133m was found and used as the best available reported greenfield construction cost proxy for original build capex. This appears to be the EPC contract value, not necessarily the full total project investment; however, no clearer owner/developer total project cost announcement was found in official sources. The site is a 110MWDC solar park, while the user-supplied registered capacity is 100MW; capex_per_mw_aud is calculated on 100MW as instructed. Asset life assumed from utility-scale solar default.
