Found some older article on financing/timeline since there's not much info here:

The battery storage was ~$200M. Pure prismatic lifepo cells are currently ~$60 per kWh in single digit quantities (would be $40M or 20% of total costs, which seems reasonable). The attached 450MW gas power plant cost ~$350M.

I find it rather remarkable how they aquired the contracts in early 2023 and the thing is already running.
