Notes
Burrinjuck is an existing hydro dam station commissioned in 1938. No credible owner/developer announcement for original greenfield plant capex was found in the search results, so capex is left blank rather than inferred from benchmarks. The station has undergone upgrades/refurbishments, but no specific refurbishment cost for BURRIN was verified here.
