Notes
Plant-specific construction-cost figure was not found as a full project total. The only explicit owner-project value located in current project documents was a total project contract value of $260.76 million tied to local content commitments; this is not clearly stated as total greenfield CAPEX, so it has been used as the closest reported project value with low-to-medium confidence and should be reviewed. No refurbishment cost found. For operating assumptions, onshore wind defaults were applied as project-specific O&M was not found. The project website states the current layout is ~289 MW / 289.8 MW nameplate and owned by Goldwind Australia, with construction and operation managed by Goldwind Australia Pty Ltd.
