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.
  • 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.

Notes
Project-specific greenfield capital expenditure was found in an official Australian Industry Participation summary for Clarke Creek Wind Farm (Stage 1): $1.04 billion, with construction starting in 2021. Squadron Energy and Tattarang also describe Clarke Creek as a $3 billion renewable energy precinct/hub covering stages 1 and 2; that figure appears to be for the broader precinct, not this DUID's stage-1 share, so the reported stage-1 project cost was used for capex_total_aud. Fixed O&M uses the 2025 AEMO/GHD onshore wind benchmark of $29,000/MW/year and variable O&M is included in the fixed component. Onshore wind has no fuel cost or heat rate and zero direct emissions.
