Fourth article today in this growing category about what happened with the coincident trip of ER01 and ER02 today was this second snapshot taken from our internal monitoring of mainland frequency in the NEM:
This second snapshot (which follows the first here) shows that:
1) Per MN115944 the trips occurred at ~13:22 (NEM time) on Wednesday 3rd April 2024; and
2) With a 7-8 minute recovery time, this means frequency back up to ~50Hz by ~13:30 (NEM time), roughly speaking.

Thursday morning 23rd May 2024 saw a media News Conference and announcement that Eraring closure will be delayed until August 2027 … or possibly as far out as August 2029.
Drawing from GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q4 2022, and the next version of our ez2view software, we take a look at the *current* expectations for closure of Liddell Power Station (within weeks) and Eraring Power Station (in 2025). A segue into this week’s update to the ESOO, perhaps?
