A quick note this afternoon to flag, using NEMreview v7, that the two emergency generators have started providing first power to the grid, during commissioning:
We expect (we hope!) to see them running very infrequently after commissioning has been completed.

A few pointers about where the peak South Australian demand might land this summer (relevant to our competition, and also for some very real considerations about the ongoing evolution of the NEM)
Records continue to tumble in the off-season, with the rise of rooftop PV. Both South Australia and Whole-of-NEM hit new low points Sun 11th October 2020.
Our Managing Director spoke at the “Australian Energy & Utility Summit 08” in
Sydney on Tuesday 22nd July 2008, touching on a number of issues including the Emissions Trading System and the possible emergence of a NEM heavily dependent on gas
supplies, which might be unreliable.
Does anyone know when the other 7 (or is that 4) units will ne commissioned?
Somewhere the goalposts seem to have shifted from 9 units down to 6 units.
At whose instigation?
From Adelaide Advertiser 2 August 2017
Mr Weatherill has announced plans to lease, and possibly later buy, nine new turbines which can run off either diesel or gas, and provide the state up to 276MW of energy in times of emergency.
Have they fessed up to cost and pool receipts – are they registered participants.?
