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
No plant-specific greenfield construction cost was found in official owner/developer/government sources from the searches run. Owner/developer materials confirm the project is a 180 MW onshore wind farm and that it was owned by Octopus Investments Australia after acquisition from RES, but they do not disclose total project CAPEX. Using only the provided fallback operating defaults for variable OPEX and emissions; fixed OPEX, heat rate, fuel cost, and plant-specific capex remain unverified. Asset life assumed at 30 years based on RES project materials.
