From 18:03 (NEM time ) on Saturday 19th November 2022 the Tailem Bend – South East No 1 275kV line was returned to service and this 7-day long islanding event ended.
Here’s a snapshot of the 19:20 dispatch interval in ez2view, showing flows nor running more heavily eastwards as a result (given it’s windy in South Australia at present and the prices are negative as a result):
Note that flows east are still constrained (though not as severely as when islanded) by the planned outage on the other Tailem Bend to South east 275kV line which is scheduled to return on Monday 21st November at 17:00 (NEM time).
At 19:11 the AEMO published Market Notice MN103664 informing the market more broadly:

… so that’s a day earlier than ElectraNet had been estimating only a couple days ago.
