Hiccup in return to service of Loy Yang A2

Loy Yang A2 was one of four units at the station that tripped on Tue 13th February within the 13:15 dispatch interval.  Last night we noted that it had started returning to service about 3 hours later.

However overnight there was a hiccup during which it tripped again (for reasons I have not investigated) – as shown in the ez2view snapshot at 10:00 (NEM time) on Wednesday 14th February 2024, this unit is back online again in the early hours of this morning:

Have not seen any generation at LYA1 or LYA4 yet … but thankfully no change in the MT PASA DUID Availability data in the ‘Generator Outages’ widget highlighted above.
