Capex total (greenfield)
$928.27M

Shown in table
$928.27M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$880.00M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Owner-linked contractor announcement confirms the project and delivery timeline, but does not itself state the total capex amount.

Capex / MW derived
$1,578,691

Shown in table
$1.58M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$1.50M (2024 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Capex per MW is derived from the reported A$880 million project cost and the 585MWp capacity stated in the government summary.

Notes
Plant-specific reported capital expenditure found in secondary project sources and government AIP summary: A$880 million for the 585MWp project. The official AIP summary also states a broader capital expenditure range of A$500 million to A$1 billion; reported figure selected as the best available plant-specific project cost. Fixed O&M and variable O&M fell back to internal defaults because no plant-specific O&M source was found. Project description indicates a solar + DC-coupled BESS development; capex used here is for the overall project, not a separate battery-only amount.
