Notes
The searched sources did not disclose a project-specific greenfield construction cost for Dungowan PHES. AEMO/Entura pumped hydro O&M guidance indicates fixed O&M only is appropriate for hydropower and gives a benchmark of $16,000/MW/yr (2018 AUD). Using the provided internal default capacity of 300 MW, fixed OPEX is estimated at A$4.8 million per year. Project status and owner/developer information were verified from EDF Dungowan project pages.
