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.

Shown in table
$13.75 (2026 real AUD)

How this was derived
Used the AEMO heat-rate table excerpt that lists Jeeralang A and its heat-rate values; the model selected the 13.75 GJ/MWh value consistent with the Jeeralang A line in the AEMO/NEMStats-derived material.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement was found for Jeeralang A/JLA04. The plant is an existing asset commissioned in 1979, so a construction cost is not readily inferable from public owner disclosures. O&M and heat-rate values were taken from AEMO heat-rate / benchmark material for Jeeralang A, but fuel price, emissions intensity, asset life, and capex remain unverified for this specific unit.
