Hot & Wet Weather pushes back expected return to service dates for Callide C3 and Callide C4

A quick note today to follow this update on LinkedIn from CS Energy published ~15:00 Monday 15th January 2024:

The LinkedIn note above references the News Release ‘Update on progress in returning Callide C power station to service’ on the CS Energy website.

Delayed RTS for Callide C3

Here’s the adjustment shown in the ‘Forecast Convergence’ widget of ez2view, looking at the MT PASA DUID Availability data (i.e. just in the very top line of the table … being the update AEMO has published for 15:00 NEM time today):

Remember that this widget allows one to ‘look up a vertical’ to see ‘that other dimension of time’.

As of this update (and in the Media Release), the expectations for Unit 3 are as follows:

• On 29 Feb 2024 (back to 200 MW)
• On 31 March 2024 (back to 466 MW)

Delayed RTS for Callide C4

The Callide C4 unit (which has been offline since the ‘Callide C4 catastrophe’ on 25th May 2021) has also been pushed back, as we see here … also in the the update AEMO has published for 15:00 NEM time today):

As of this update (and in the Media Release), the expectations for Unit 4 are as follows:

• On 30 June 2024 (up to 210 MW)
• On 31 July 2024 (back to 420 MW)

Nothing further to add, at this point.
