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 pricedispatch_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.

Shown in table
$502.87M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$350.00M (2013 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Official project announcement states the Boco Rock wind farm project value was $350 million in 2013.

Shown in table
$4.45M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$24.31M (2013 nominal)
Table total may differ if recalculated from $/MW × registered capacity after CPI adjustment.

How this was derived
Capex per MW is derived from the reported project cost and the 113 MW project size referenced in project-related sources.

Reported / source value
$708.5k (2013 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Annual fixed O&M is calculated as 49,200 × 14.4 MW = 708,480.

$70.7k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$49.2k (2013 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon onshore wind cost review provides a fixed O&M assumption of $49,200 per MW per year.

Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.00

Shown in table
$0.00 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.00 (2013 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
The AEMO/Aurecon review indicates variable O&M is included in the fixed component for onshore wind, so a separate variable O&M is set to zero.

Notes
Boco Rock Wind Farm was announced in 2013 as a $350 million project and entered operation in late 2014. The reported capex appears to refer to the 113 MW stage-one wind farm, not the 14.4 MW DUID slice; therefore capex per MW is based on 113 MW, while the DUID capacity remains a local asset identifier. No verified refurbishment cost found.
