Key information
Capacity
26 MW

AEMO status In Service
Project status Operational (AI)

Renew Economy (2018) and Power Technology profile indicate the 34 MW Middlemount solar project started sending power to the grid and is active.

Region QLD1
Coordinates -22.80300, 148.70800 (AI)

pv magazine Australia (2018) says the project is around 1 km east of Middlemount, central Queensland; Mapcarta/Open Infrastructure Map place the plant near Middlemount.

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.
