‘Improved operational reliability with Yallourn generation availability at 77% in the first half compared to 68% in the prior period.’
… and …
‘Mr Collette added: “Our improved performance in the first half has been supported by a new multi-mine agreement with Centennial to improve coal reliability at Mt Piper and investments to accelerate maintenance at Yallourn. This includes $400 million to complete major outages for each of Yallourn’s four generation units in 2023 and 2024 ahead of the station’s planned closure mid-2028.’
Paul was one of the founders of Global-Roam in February 2000. He is currently the CEO of the company and the principal author of WattClarity. Writing for WattClarity has become a natural extension of his work in understanding the electricity market, enabling him to lead the team in developing better software for clients.
Before co-founding the company, Paul worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the Queensland Electricity Commission in the early 1990s. He also gained international experience in Japan, the United States, Canada, the UK, and Argentina as part of his ES Cornwall Memorial Scholarship.
Following some questions yesterday (from clients and others) we take a quick look at how Yallourn Power Station is progressing in coming back from outage caused by inundation from the nearby river.
Five days after Tuesday 13th February 2024 we have a bit of time to take this initial (top-down) look at bidding for ENERGY in the Victorian region on that day … with 27 Questions/Observations identified!
Yesterday (Wed 18th Oct 2023) Origin Energy held its Annual General Meeting, with discussion wide-ranging. Here’s two things that jumped out to me about the Eraring Power Station, which is currently slated to close in 2025.
Yesterday I noted what appeared to be trips of two solar farms – Gannawarra and Karadoc – within a single dispatch interval and coincident with a period of volatile prices. Also yesterday, Dylan McConnell flagged a drop in output at the brown coal plant around the same time, with some questions. With the benefit of access to yesterday’s bids, today I have a look at the 5 power stations (pending a broader review next week by guest author, Allan O’Neil).
