ElectraNet update at midday on Sunday 13th November 2022

A short article here on WattClarity to note the brief update from Electranet here on their website at 12pm SA time … which would be 11:30 NEM time:

For ease of future reference, the note is:

‘Following yesterday’s severe weather event, ElectraNet crews and contractors are and will continue to inspect our transmission lines that were in path of the storms. As we mentioned last night, customer supply as a result of the damaged tower at Tailem Bend has not been impacted and we are developing a plan to safely make the required repairs. Until the damaged tower is repaired, power flows to and from Vic are constrained to zero, which will require curtailment of roof top solar to maintain system stability. We are liaising closely with the Australian Energy Market Operator and will continue to closely monitor the state’s high-voltage transmission network.’

Wishing all the best to our friends at Electranet who are working to rectify …. and also the many SAPN technicians who are working around the clock to reconnect those who’ve lost power due to trees on power lines and so on…
