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.

Reported / source value
$4.00M (2019 nominal)
Adjusted to 2026 real AUD using Australian CPI (All Groups).

How this was derived
This is the only site-specific cost statement found, but it is a threshold statement rather than a precise project cost; used only as a lower-bound proxy.

How this was derived
Calculated from the lower-bound reported cost proxy and the user-supplied registered capacity; the result is indicative only and likely understates true project cost.

Notes
Plant-specific greenfield capex was not found; capex uses the only site-specific reported figure located in the planning report, which states the cost of the proposed Mannum PPS.3 solar PV development is more than $4 million. This likely refers to the broader Crown Development application rather than an exact final project cost, so capex is a lower-bound proxy and should be reviewed. SA Water’s Zero Cost Energy Future program states the utility is investing more than $300 million across 154 MW of solar PV at 30+ sites, but that is program-level, not site-specific. The site is registered as 12.4 MW AC in ESCOSA licence material with 42,672 x 380W panels and single-axis tracking.
