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.

$455.73M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$350.00M (2019 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
This is a broader program figure, not the plant-specific construction cost, so it was not used as capex_total_aud.

Notes
Plant-specific reported greenfield capex found in public sources as $350 million for the 280 MW Cultana Solar Farm project announced/preparing for construction in 2019-2022 materials. Capacity used for per-MW calculation is the registered/project capacity provided (357.45 MW), so per-MW is an implied figure rather than the source's original capacity basis. No verified plant-specific fixed/variable O&M or fuel assumptions were found; solar PV has no fuel cost or heat rate, and emissions intensity is zero.
