Notes
Plant-specific planning/approval sources indicate an estimated development cost of $1.35 billion for the Dinawan Solar Farm element of the broader Dinawan Energy Hub. The figure appears to cover the ~800 MW solar farm plus 356 MW/1,574 MWh BESS, so it likely overstates the 300 MW solar-only allocation used here; capex_per_mw is therefore a simple allocation of the reported project cost to the 300 MW unit and should be treated cautiously. No separate owner-reported greenfield capex for the 300 MW solar tranche was found in search results.
