Notes
No project-specific greenfield capex announcement was found in official owner/government sources. Available sources indicate the Glennies Creek project is an early-development pumped hydro scheme at Glennies Creek Dam in NSW, initially progressed by Upper Hunter Hydro under WaterNSW and later acquired by AGL in May 2025. Capacity is reported as 623 MW / 6,200 MWh on current designs. Internal fallback capex was not used as reported capex because no verified plant-specific total project investment was located. Pumped hydro has no fuel cost or heat rate; emissions operational intensity assumed zero.
