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
Greenfield capex uses the reported Stage 1 EPC contract value of over A$80 million for 60 MWp DC, which is the closest plant-specific construction cost located. This likely covers stage 1 rather than the entire 60 MW site, so treat as a proxy and verify if a total-project figure is required. Gannawarra Solar Farm is a 60 MWp DC single-axis tracking project operating since March 2018; commissioned by Q1 2018/Q1 2018 expectation in the EPC notice and operational since March 2018 on project pages.
