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.

Source evidence
Confidence: Very high
  • primaryNSW Planning Portal — Major Projects
    View source ↗
    Authoritative for NSW SSD and SSI planning status. Hosts each project's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), SEARs, response to submissions, and other planning documents. Outranks proponent and media reports for planning_status. Per-project EIS and SSD page URLs are tracked under each project's project_documents.
  • primaryAEMO — Integrated System Plan
    View source ↗
    Sets transmission and renewable investment direction. Informs REZ planning but does not approve individual projects.
  • secondaryProponent project websites
    View source ↗
    Proponent-supplied content from each project's dedicated page on the proponent's website. Useful for technology, capacity intent, community engagement messaging, project newsletters, fact sheets and timeline updates. Cannot override official planning_status or epbc_status. Per-project page URLs are tracked under each project's project_documents.
Open questions
  • Planning status against the NSW Planning Portal — verify SSD reference.
  • EPBC referral status — verify against DCCEEW public notices.
  • Storage MWh and voltage figures — confirm from proponent documents and AEMO Generation Information.
  • Workforce and accommodation commitments — confirm in SSD documentation or VPA.
  • First Nations engagement reporting — confirm in IEP / cultural heritage chapter.
