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.
One of three founders of Global-Roam back in 2000, Paul has been CEO of the company since that time.

A first look at some of the action seen in the southern parts of the NEM on Thursday 24th January 2019 as a result of the latest crazy heatwave that has afflicted central Australia – particularly affecting electricity supply and demand in South Australia and Victoria
AEMO forecasts NEM-wide demand to exceed 32,000MW tomorrow (Monday 18th December), which is far higher than seen in December 2016, and one reason for the LOR1 low reserve notices.
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?

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.?
