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
Greenfield project construction was financed at more than $450 million in December 2018. Site approval documents identify the project as a 275 MW solar farm with a 100 MWh BESS in the original consent, but the capex figure sourced here is for the solar farm project financing announcement and is treated as the project-level construction cost for the generator. Fixed O&M uses the provided fallback default of $20,000/MW-year; annual fixed O&M implied at 274.97 MW is about $5.5 million. No plant-specific O&M, fuel, heat-rate, or emissions data beyond zero direct emissions for solar PV were found in the searched sources.
