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.

Reported / source value
$12.0k (2018 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
AEMO/Aurecon benchmark for a 20MW ground-mount solar PV plant gives fixed O&M of $12,000 per MWp-year and states variable O&M is included in the fixed component.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capital investment value of $29.284752 million was found in NSW planning portal documentation for the proposed Junee Solar Farm (2018 approval record). This is a reported project-level value and is closer to the registered 36.01 MW unit than the local council's rounded 'Junee Solar Farm = $30 million' reference. For O&M, AEMO/Aurecon solar PV benchmark fixed O&M of $12,000/MWp-year was used; variable O&M is included in fixed O&M in that benchmark. Economic life of 30 years taken from AEMO/Aurecon solar PV benchmark. No project-specific refurbishment cost or fuel assumptions found.
