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.
  • 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.

Notes
Spark Infrastructure reported Bomen Solar Farm at ~$188m total cost at completion in an April 2019 investor presentation; the site was operating by mid-2020 and Spark later said construction completed under budget at ~$180m in an August 2020 investor presentation. I used the earlier reported total project cost as the greenfield capex figure because it is the clearest plant-specific investment announcement; the later figure is a revised at-completion value. Operating cost specifics were not located in source-backed project disclosures, so O&M values were left null rather than inferred from generic benchmarks.
