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.

$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.

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.

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.

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.
