First output at Tallawarra B

Given as I have the ‘Bids & Offers’ widget opened in ez2view to report on the Forced Outage at Tarong unit 2, and the ‘trip to house load’ at Tarong unit 4, I thought I’d take the opportunity to delve into this alert from the ‘Notifications’ widget in ez2view:

2024-01-24-at-11-40-ez2view-Alert-TALWB1-online

It’s possible in the software to look for small changes in output (and/or units starting) for a filtered list of DUIDs in the software … which I find useful at times.

… this is one of those useful alerts.

So here’s a more zoomed in view of bids for the TALWAB1 unit:

Curious about whether EnergyAustralia had announced anything yet, I jumped on their website and see:

1)  Nothing yet under Media News; and

2)  Was not mentioned in the ‘Operations Update – 24 January 2024’.

3)  Also nothing on the company’s LinkedIn page, or under their Twitter page.

 

It’s very early days, and I imagine more updates will come later…

 

PS1 information from EnergyAustralia on 25th Jan 2024

In this ‘Operations Update – 25 January 2024’, the company notes:

‘Tallawarra B, EnergyAustralia’s new gas peaking power station, is online for synchronisation testing, ahead of hold point testing. Commercial operation expected in late February.’
