Notes
Project-specific public sources found for the Brigalow Peaking Power Plant indicate a 400 MW natural-gas peaking station at the Kogan Creek site, with construction expected to complete in 2028. No authoritative plant-specific greenfield total capex figure was found in the provided search results; the only explicit project cost reference located was a Reuters-reported estimate of around A$1 billion, attributed to RBC Capital Markets rather than the owner/developer. The capex fields therefore use an estimated value aligned to that external estimate and should be reviewed if a formal owner announcement becomes available. No refurbishment-specific cost identified.
