Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement or owner/developer investment figure was found in web search results. The only directly relevant source located was a NEM generator listing confirming the site, owner, technology, capacity (170 MW), and online date (2029-06-01), but it did not provide capex or O&M data. Internal defaults were not applied because project-specific capex could not be verified from official or high-quality sources.
