Shown in table
$10.45M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$10.20M (2025 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
Used as fallback estimated greenfield capex because no plant-specific Hallam Road project cost was found.

Reported / source value
$0.00 (2025 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
No explicit fuel price was found; set to zero conservatively because landfill gas is a waste by-product and may have negative effective cost.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield construction cost for Hallam Road was found in accessible owner/government sources. AEMO's draft 2025 Energy Technology Cost and Technical Parameter Review provides a hypothetical landfill-gas project benchmark of $10.2 million EPC cost, which has been used as the fallback capex estimate. The benchmark O&M values are also from that same AEMO/GHD review. Hallam Road appears in the Victorian ESC licence as one of LMS Energy's licensed generation facilities, but no commissioning date was located in the searched sources.
