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.

Capex total (greenfield)	$216.22M Shown in table $216.22M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $160.00M (2017 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived Official project announcement gives the total project cost as A$160 million for the Kennedy Park hybrid facility. Reference $160 million 60 MW Kennedy Park wind, solar and battery hybrid reaches financial close in Queensland (high confidence) Source recorded 09 Jun 2026
Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MW derived	$14,414,414 Shown in table $14.41M (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $10.67M (2017 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived The source discloses total project size and solar capacity, allowing a derived per-MW figure for the solar DUID, but it is not a solar-only project cost. Reference $160 million 60 MW Kennedy Park wind, solar and battery hybrid reaches financial close in Queensland (medium confidence) Source recorded 09 Jun 2026
Fixed OPEX (annual)	—
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr default	$20,000 Shown in table $20.0k (2026 real AUD) How this was derived AEMO/Aurecon benchmark for a 20MW ground-mount solar PV project lists fixed O&M at 12,000 AUD/MW-year. Reference 2024 Energy Technology Cost and Technical Parameter Review Report - Solar (medium confidence) Source recorded 09 Jun 2026
Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.34 Shown in table $0.34 (2026 real AUD) Reported / source value $0.25 (2017 nominal) Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups). How this was derived The benchmark report states variable O&M is included within fixed O&M, so no separate variable O&M value is used.

Notes
Plant-specific reported total project cost of A$160 million for Kennedy Energy Park (full hybrid project: 43.2 MW wind, 15 MW solar, 2 MW / 4 MWh battery). Solar share was not separately disclosed, so capex_total_aud is the full project cost associated with the site, and capex_per_mw_aud is calculated on the 15 MW solar capacity only. Commissioning/start of operation was May 22, 2024; construction started December 2017.
