Notes
AGL identifies Glenbawn Power Station as a 5.5 MW hydro station built in 1995 within the Glenbawn Dam wall structure, with average annual output of 12 GWh. WaterNSW states the station uses irrigation, flood mitigation and environmental flows. No plant-specific greenfield capex or refurbishment cost was found in the searched official sources, so capex remains unknown rather than using a benchmark. The developer also announced in 2025 that AGL acquired the Glenbawn pumped hydro project; that is a different proposed project and not the existing GLBWNHYD unit.
