(Belatedly noting that) Millmerran unit 1 came back online on Wed 31st January 2024

Given that I’ve already noted about the Tarong unit 2 return to service Thursday evening 1st Feb 2024, to round out the topic I’m adding this in belatedly…

In recent weeks with respect to the MPP_1 unit:

1)  On Friday 19th January 2024 we highlighted ‘Two coal units to watch, in QLD over coming days – in relation to forecast tight supply-demand on Monday 22nd January 2024’,

2)  Then early Monday morning 22nd January 2024 we updated with ‘What about those 2 x coal-fired units in QLD we suggested you watch?’ (at the start of Queensland’s record demand day).

3)  Tuesday 23rd January 2024 we followed with ‘Millmerran unit 1 came offline as planned … but only after the massive demand peak’.

…  at that  time we noted the expected expected return to service being Wednesday 31st January 2024 (i.e. two days ago).

So it’s worth a short 4th article in this series to note the ez2view-driven alert (triggered in one of my copies with the ‘Notifications’ widget running inside) that the unit came back online Wednesday morning 31st January 2024, as had been indicated in the earlier schedules:

To add a bit more colour to the article, here’s a snapshot from ‘Bids & Offers’ widget in ez2view filtered down to just the MPP_1 unit:

Nothing further to add, at this point…
