One more delay to Return-to-Service for Callide C4 … another 40 days added to the outage

Posted by Paul McArdle Friday, July 12 2024 Topic: 2021 - 25th May - Callide C4 Explosion, Fire and Outage

In what truly seems live the never-ending story, one of our team noted another delay to return to service for Callide C4 … now pushed out till Saturday 31st August 2024.

This we see in the ‘Generator Outages’ widget in ez2view here at the 18:35 dispatch interval on Friday 12th July:

2024-07-12-at-18-35-ez2view-GeneratorOutages

Coincidentally it was only this morning I was speaking with a client about this widget, and I specifically noted we were (at that time) at the pointy end of the return to service projection … it was down to only 10 days to go (i.e. until 22nd July 2024, following this update Dan noted on 21st June).

Also today there’s a media release ‘Update on Callide Unit C4 return to service’ from CS Energy – which notes:

‘CS Energy CEO Darren Busine said the change in date was necessary to provide additional time for testing and quality assurance for safely returning Unit C4 to operation.’

We (along with many other people, no doubt) will look forward to seeing the repaired unit finally back in operations … but we have to wait another 50 days for it now.
