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 pricedispatch_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
Plant-specific greenfield CAPEX of $24.8 million was reported by the project website for construction completed in 2017. The project was originally forecast at $25.3 million in ARENA materials. Fixed OPEX is inferred from the reported 2018 OPEX of $585,030 and annualised on a 10 MW basis; this is an estimate rather than a directly reported per-MW fixed OPEX figure. The farm was commissioned in August 2017 and initially exported at reduced capacity (9.17 MW AC), reaching 10 MW in August 2018 after inverter retrofits. Solar PV has no fuel cost or heat rate.
