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 my earlier post about my own experiences as a small power generator (with solar PV at home), I’ve taken a broader look at solar PV production NEM-wide, including over the corresponding “stormy weather” period of October highlighted in the prior article.
A short article today, highlighting the release of this Amperon report for AEMO looking at the way in which the performance of some Large Solar Farms in the NEM were affected by bushfire smoke through summer 2019-20.
There’s already been a large uptake of distributed energy generation data, and there promises to be much more to come in this energy transition. With this comes some significant challenges – along with opportunities (with respect to the electricity production itself, and also in terms of the data that’s produced). So in the interest of doing things better, here’s a detailed look at our own rooftop solar experiences at home.

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,
