Notes
No plant-specific greenfield investment or total project cost announcement was found for Bellambi Heights BESS in the searched official owner and public sources. The project is a 408 MW battery energy storage system with approximately 2 hours of storage, located at Beryl, NSW, and construction was underway in Q1 2026. The owner page and public reporting confirm capacity and timing, but not total project capex. Because no project-specific capex was verified, capex fields are left null rather than using the AEMO/CSIRO benchmark. For fallback context only, AEMO/Aurecon 2024 cost review gives a 200 MW BESS with dedicated grid connection total EPC cost of $313.3M for 4-hour storage and $519.7M for 8-hour storage, but this was not applied as reported project capex.
