Notes
AGL’s hydro page confirms Burrendong Power Station is 19 MW and leased by AGL Hydro, but no plant-specific greenfield construction cost or refurbishment cost was found in the searched official sources. The page also states Burrendong generates using summer irrigation and flood mitigation flows and that AGL Hydro has a lease for the site from November 1996 with three 10-year extension options. Because no project-specific capex was located, no benchmark capex was inserted here pending further review.
