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.

Notes
Project-specific greenfield capex was found in the Australian Industry Participation plan summary for Broadsound Solar Farm Pty Ltd: capital expenditure $518 million for Broadsound Solar Farm. The AEMO/Aurecon 2024 review supports single-axis tracking as the applicable utility-scale PV configuration and notes higher maintenance than fixed-tilt. Fixed O&M and asset life were taken from the AEMO/Aurecon 2024 technology review as fallback assumptions; fixed O&M is set at the internal default per MW-year because a project-specific O&M figure was not found. Capacity used for per-MW capex calculation is 376 MWdc from the project summary; this is slightly different from the user-supplied 368 MW, so capex_per_mw_aud should be treated as approximate.
