Whilst walking around the CS Energy portfolio (i.e. after looking at C4 and then C3), it’s also worth noting that Kogan Creek returned to service overnight – as seen in this snapshot from the ‘Unit Dashboard’ widget in ez2view:
There was also the false start Monday evening (19th December – yesterday) around 20:00 seen in the chart above.
PS1 – offline 20th and online 21st December
Have not looked specifically, but noted it was offline at 21:40 on Tuesday 20th but back online at 01:10 on Wednesday 21st December. The ‘return to service’ operations after long outages are complex to manage, so it’s not uncommon to see a false start or two in the process (but note I have not looked at the specifics in this case).

Highlighting one example of a unit trip. We expect we will find many in the process of compiling our Generator Report Card 2018 – the bigger question being whether the incidence is increasing (and, if so, to what extent).
