Important factor will be the transmission network at Kanmantoo. Can the existing infrastructure take a sudden increase in electricity production of 220MW? No chance. Without knowing the details it might be rated for importing around 10MW but not much more and would not have been built for exporting electricity. So there will need to be an upgrade of the transmission network and installation of additional transmission network infrastructure. This takes time and will cost millions of dollars and this cost will need to funded by the PHES in some manner. Usually you cannot get an accurate costing on this without paying for a study to be done and this also takes time.220MW is a lot of generation to fit on a transmission line.
This will have a direct bearing on the value of the Kanmnatoo PHES.
