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.

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)	$65.50M Shown in table $65.50M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $60.00M (2023 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Genex stated the Bouldercombe Battery Project total capital spending budget was $60 million.

Notes
Greenfield capex based on Genex-reported total capital spending budget of $60 million including finance costs and contingency funds for the 50MW/100MWh project. Fixed OPEX uses the provided server-side default for battery storage; variable OPEX uses the provided default. Project was fully operational from 2H CY2023.
