Notes
Akaysha states Connewarren BESS is a proposed 1,000 MW / 4,000 MWh battery near Mortlake, Victoria, but no plant-specific greenfield capex or financing amount was found in the searched official/primary sources. Because no reported project cost was located, capex fields are left null rather than using a benchmark. No operating cost, efficiency, or asset-life assumptions were found from project-specific sources; only the zero-emissions nature of battery storage is populated as a technology default.
