Two units at Tarong come offline Wednesday morning 28th Feb 2024 … not planned in advance

A quick note to record that Wednesday morning between 09:00 and 10:00 Tarong Unit 1 and then Tarong Unit 2 have both come offline from close to minimum load, only 15 minutes apart in time:

This was captured in the email alerts configured in the ‘Notifications’ widget within ez2view, as shown above.

A quick reference to the ‘Generator Outages’ widget in ez2view at the 09:50 dispatch interval shows it was not planned in advance:

I presume they have just tripped, and will be back online shortly … but does add another ‘interesting’ variable in relation to the tight supply-demand balance forecast for NSW and QLD tomorrow (Thursday 29th February 2024).
