Notes
Project is a 100 MW / 200 MWh utility-scale battery. Reported Estimated Development Cost (excl GST) in NSW planning documents is AUD 118,000,000; this is used as the greenfield project cost. No plant-specific O&M, fuel, heat rate, or refurbishment cost data was found in the searched sources, so server-side defaults were used for O&M and standard battery assumptions left blank where not applicable.
