Duration sets how long it can sustain full output, and with it how much of the daily price spread it can arbitrage before running flat.
As of 6 July 2026: estimated gross energy + FCAS market revenue month-to-date $38k; capturing 36.4% of optimal dispatch value.
Price and dispatch are measured AEMO values; energy and FCAS revenue are derived from them; FPP revenue and integrated state of charge are estimated. See the provenance scheme on the methodology page.
