Also <40 days till the return of Barron Gorge

Whilst garnering nowhere near the amount of attention, including by us, as does Callide C4 (which is <40 days till RTS), it’s also worthwhile highlighting that Barron Gorge hydro plant in far north Queensland is also planned to be back online a day after Callide C4.

This is shown in this snapshot from the same ‘Generator Outages’ widget in ez2view … but filtered down to hydro units across the NEM for a change:

Remember that Barron Gorge came offline in December 2023 following damage by flooding that resulted from TC Jasper.

Currently on the CleanCo project page they include the following timeline that provides more useful information:

So stay tuned for this one, as well …
