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.

Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

$122.94M (2026 real AUD)

Reported / source value
$86.40M (1957 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
No official owner/developer/government construction cost announcement was located in the searches, so the fallback capex assumption was applied.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield capex announcement or government/owner construction cost was found in the searched sources. CleanCo sources confirm Kareeya is run-of-river hydro, commissioned in 1957, with 88 MW capacity. In the absence of a reported project investment figure, default server-side capex assumptions were used. The site is a legacy asset, so capex_year reflects commissioning year rather than a construction cost year.
