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.

Notes
Plant-specific project cost was reported for the full Kennedy Energy Park Phase I hybrid project at A$160 million, which includes the 2 MW / 4 MWh battery component within a larger wind-solar-battery precinct. No separate battery-only greenfield capex was found, so the full project cost is used as the best available reported figure; this likely overstates the battery DUID share. The project was developed by Windlab and Eurus and includes 43.2 MW wind, 15 MW solar, and 2 MW/4 MWh battery storage.
