Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capex could not be verified from owner/developer/government sources. Existing unit is an operating hydro asset, so greenfield construction capex is not estimated here. A refurbishment/upgrade program is noted by CleanCo (Kareeya Protection System Upgrade), but no public dollar value was found. Capacity for DUID KAREEYA5 was treated as 7 MW per user input for normalization, but public CleanCo references describe Kareeya Hydro as an 88 MW station made up of four 22 MW turbines.
