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
Greenfield construction cost sourced from a contemporaneous operational-status report stating the Braemar 2 power station and associated high-pressure gas pipeline were completed at about A$530m. The site is a 450MW OCGT facility in the source, while the provided DUID capacity is 173MW; capex per MW is therefore calculated using the user-provided 173MW capacity. Fixed O&M and variable O&M use AEMO/Aurecon 2024 benchmark values for OCGT; fixed O&M was prorated from a larger benchmark plant to a per-MW basis because the source table did not provide a direct OCGT per-MW figure in the retrieved lines. No reliable plant-specific heat rate, fuel cost, or emissions intensity was located in the searched sources.
