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.

The multi-region islanding event on Saturday 25th August was a very rare event – perhaps the only one’s that occurred in the history of the NEM. It has generated plenty of questions – and driven our analysis further. We share some more observations here, and keenly await the draft AEMO report.
Friday 14th July 2023 sees some media articles and commentary about several coal-fired generators running longer than previously thought, as the energy transition hits some speed bumps.
Allan O’Neil provides an explainer about how small deviations in supply and demand are managed in the NEM, in order to help us understand the apparent swings in frequency that we noted in QLD last Friday.
Guest author, Allan O’Neil does a masterful job with limited time in reviewing some of the goings-on in the NEM (particularly VIC and SA) on Thursday 30th January 2020
