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
I found a project-specific greenfield capital cost in the planning-stage environmental assessment, but it was for an early 150 MWpeak concept with a preliminary total cost of about $223.5 million, not the final 69.75 MWac registered plant. I did not use it as the plant capex because it does not clearly match the commissioned DUID capacity. FRV sources confirm the project size (69.75 MWac/68.7 MWac), single-axis tracking, construction in 2019-2020, and operation from 2020, but they do not disclose a final project-specific investment total for the commissioned plant. O&M and other operating assumptions were not found in source-backed plant-specific form, so I left them blank rather than infer from benchmarks.
