What changes for the project if a new line goes ahead?
Line edits in modelling let you add or upgrade a line, then rerun the market.
A 200 MW solar farm near Mill Creek, in five steps.
From the site on the map to the return it would have made, all in supagrid.
- 01
Find the site
The Mill Creek–Ridge Road line runs past it, Mill Creek has 160 MW of headroom, and a 150 MW wind farm is queued ahead of it.
- 02
Check the lines
The Mill Creek–Ridge Road line ran close to its rating on most spring afternoons last year, carrying the farms already out there.
- 03
Check curtailment
Solar farms nearby lost about a tenth of their spring output, mostly to that one limit.
- 04
Rerun last year
Add the farm and rerun last year's market around it. It would have earned about $19m, and lost 7.8% of its output to curtailment.
- 05
See the return
With build costs from the cost book, that is a 7.9% return over 30 years, with the debt covered 1.30 times in its tightest year.
