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 pricedispatch_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.

How this was derived
Neoen’s later operational announcement references an A$350 million investment, which likely reflects the original wind-plus-storage project financial close/construction investment announcement.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield project cost was found in official Victorian Government and Neoen sources. The hub is a hybrid project (204 MW wind farm + 20 MW / 34 MWh battery), but the reported total investment appears to cover the full hub, not wind-only. Fixed O&M not found in source-backed project-specific material; not estimated here because no clear plant-specific O&M benchmark was retrieved in the searched sources.
