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.

Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)	$222.15M Shown in table $222.15M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $210.60M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Shell calls it an investment but does not disclose a project cost. Reference The Gangarri Solar Project \| Shell Australia (low confidence) Source recorded 07 Jun 2026
Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MW derived	$1,371,308 Shown in table $1.37M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $1.30M (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Server-side default used as instructed after failing to find a project-specific greenfield capex figure.
Fixed OPEX (annual)	$3.42M Shown in table $3.42M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $2.40M (2024 nominal) Table total may differ if recalculated from $/MW × registered capacity after CPI adjustment. How this was derived Calculated from fallback fixed O&M rate and the 120 MW capacity stated in Shell's source.
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr	$21,097 Shown in table $21.1k (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $20.0k (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Server-side default used as instructed.
Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.26 Shown in table $0.26 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $0.25 (2024 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Server-side default used as instructed.

Notes
No reliable plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found in the searched official sources. Shell confirms Gangarri is a 120 MW solar project in Woleebee, Queensland, built on Shell QGC land, and describes it as an investment, but no total project cost was disclosed in the accessible source. Capacity mismatch noted: the prompt lists 162 MW, while Shell sources describe 120 MW; capex could not be normalised to the DUID from a plant-specific cost figure. Default solar_tracking capex/O&M values were therefore used as fallback only for non-capex fields, and capex remains unverified.
