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.

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.

Capex total (greenfield)

$133.67M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$126.72M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

Shown in table
$2.32M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value

$3.34M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$3.17M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Arithmetic from the fallback fixed O&M rate and site capacity.

Fixed OPEX / MW-yr
$58,017

Shown in table
$58.0k (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$55.0k (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Server-side fallback default used because no plant-specific O&M source was requested or found.

Variable OPEX / MWh
$0.53

Shown in table
$0.53 (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$0.50 (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Server-side fallback default retained.

Notes
No reliable plant-specific greenfield capex figure was found in the searched owner/developer/government sources. AEMO/CSIRO benchmark inputs were therefore not used for capex because the user requested plant-specific investment figures first and none were located. Fixed O&M was applied from the server-side default as a fallback; wind variable O&M and emissions are effectively nil, with a small variable O&M default retained per instructions.
