One of our readers has emailed in to note the changed output profile from Kogan Creek coal-fired power station in southern Queensland from early July 2024, and has asked some questions about this.
In this article I’ll start with this snapshot from the ‘Bids & Offers’ widget in ez2view filtered down to the KPP_1 unit and looking back 60 days:
We see that, beginning Saturday 6th July there’s a marked change in the bidding profile for the unit –
1) With much volume offered above $500/MWh
2) Leading to reduced output from the unit operating over time.
The rebids offered on Saturday 6th July include terms like ‘Fuel Management – Conservation’ in the rebid reasons … so the question is what other information is in the public domain about what issues might be being experienced with coal supplies?
I don’t have time to explore further today … but did not see anything in the ‘Latest News’ section of the CS Energy website (though note that I did not really expect to see anything there, as I’m not sure that’s the purpose).
