2 x Loy Yang A units offline this afternoon

Coincident with the bigger story about forecast Load Shedding for later this week, and next, we noticed that two Loy Yang A units (units 1 and 2) came offline this afternoon between 14:25 and 15:05 in what would appear to be sequential trips for unknown reasons.
