World experience is that hydro projects cost about US$2,000/kW to US$4,000/kW. The Electricity Storage Association gives a range of costs for Pumped-Hydro of US$500/kW to US$1500/kW. This project is A$744/kW. So the proposed Tantangara-Blowering facility is towards the low end of the range (if the figures are correct).
