Estimated capex, local spend and peak workforce
Total development cost
unknown unknown
Capacity unknown — capex cannot be benchmark-estimated.
Estimated local / regional spend
unknown unknown
Local spend not estimable without a capex figure.
Estimated peak construction workforce
unknown
Industry benchmark: ~0.7 FTE/MW wind, 0.5 FTE/MW solar, 0.4 FTE/MWh BESS, 1.5 FTE/MW pumped hydro. Peak during civil/electrical phase only — operations workforce is typically ~5-10% of construction peak.
