Notes
I could not locate a reliable plant-specific greenfield capital cost announcement for the Blackwater Hybrid System from the owner/developer or government sources. Search results returned only unrelated Blackwater mine/project documents and a registry listing confirming the asset identity and operating date. Because no defensible project-specific capex was found, I have left capex fields null rather than substituting a benchmark. The generator appears to be registered as a solar PV hybrid asset with full commercial use date 2029-06-01 in the registry source, but no financial disclosures were identified.
