With YWPS1 and LYA2 back online, Victorian directions for System Strength cancelled

On Thursday 14th November 2024 there were several articles

1)  We noted Thursday morning that ‘AEMO directs 4 units on in Victoria, to cover System Strength shortfall’

… noting that, at that time, there were 3 coal units in Victoria offline.

2)  Then we noted ‘Loy Yang A2 joins three other coal units in VIC offline’…

… and speculated the the short-notice outage of Loy Yang A2 was the trigger for the AEMO direction (i.e. dropping number of coal units in VIC down from 7 down to 6).

3)  Then we asked ‘Why the directions (to 4 units) with 6 coal-fired units still online in Victoria?’.

So we follow the above with this collage of widgets in ez2view at the 10:35 dispatch interval (NEM time) to note that the directions have ended – in large part because both Yallourn Unit 1 and Loy Yang A2 are back online this morning:

That’s all for now…
