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.
  • State of charge — INITIAL_ENERGY_STORAGE (MWh at interval start) from UNIT_SOLUTION, published for bidirectional/storage units. Next-day data — the SOC line lags real time by up to a day.
  • 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.

Capex total (greenfield)
$10.60M

Shown in table
$10.60M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$9.08M (2022 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Computed as 1.1m AUD/MW × 8.25 MW using the provided internal technology default because no AEMO/CSIRO CAPEX benchmark for this exact configuration was extracted from the retrieved documents.

Capex / MW derived
$1,285,047

Shown in table
$1.29M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$1.10M (2022 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Applied internal default as AEMO/CSIRO benchmark numbers were not successfully extracted for the solar_fixed cost line items.
Fixed OPEX (annual)
$173.5k

Shown in table
$173.5k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$148.5k (2022 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Calculated from fixed OPEX per MW-year default and generator capacity.
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$21,028

Shown in table
$21.0k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$18.0k (2022 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Applied internal default because plant-specific or benchmark fixed O&M ($/MW/yr) was not extracted for this unit.
Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.23

Shown in table
$0.23 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.20 (2022 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Applied internal default; retrieved AEMO solar parameter documents indicated variable O&M may be treated as included in fixed for some hypothetical plants, but no extractable $/MWh for this case was applied.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield CAPEX and O&M/fuel/performance parameters were not found in the web results provided; therefore technology defaults were applied. No major refurbishment/brownfield upgrade costs were found, so refurbishment fields remain null.
