I noticed today this announcement from AGL that the Nyngan solar plant (developed by First Solar and AGL Energy) had reached its 102MW full output.
Given we marked the start of operations back in March on WattClarity® here, I thought it useful to also include this snapshot from NEM-Watch highlighting how output from Nyngan had lifted on Saturday 6th June in what appears to be 2 steps – to 75MW at the start of the day and then from 75MW to 102MW around the middle of the day:

Also annotated on the chart is a price blip seen today in South Australia, following on from the problems being experienced at Alinta’s Northern brown-coal plant since the weekend.
One of three founders of Global-Roam back in 2000, Paul has been CEO of the company since that time.
As an author on WattClarity, Paul's focus has been to help make the electricity market more understandable.
Following on from the Let’s Talk About FCAS post, the focus of this post is the business case and subsequent optimisation challenge for getting involved in FCAS, now that the technical performance components have been mostly addressed.
A cold evening in the NEM, and yet demand can’t make it past 30,000MW – which would have been quite startling 4 or 5 years ago (but not now, as demand has been declining for a number of reasons).
Sounds like you really need a copy of NEM-Watch (www.NEM-Watch.info) or NEM-Review (www.NEM-Review.info) so you can explore your question, at your own leisure.
There are ups, and there are downs (or is there a question behind your question about specific downs?)
How is Nyngan plant going now ? I haven’t noticed any production from it in the NEM reports lately.
Malcolm,
