Release of Final Report into Power Outage Event on 13th February 2024

Another report that will be worth reading is this ‘Independent Review of Transmission and Distribution Businesses Operational Response for the (13th) February 2024 Storm and Power Outage Event’ (even the title is a mouthful):

The report was released last Friday 13th September 2024 (7 months after the event), and was prepared by an Expert Panel (comprising Rosemary Sinclair, Gerard Brody, and Kevin Kehl).

Other information is available:

1)  About the report itself:

(a)  In the Ministerial Release ‘Network Outage Review Improving Storm Response’;

(b)  On this subsite of the DEECA (which we know as Department of Energy VIC);

(c)  In the article ‘True cost of February storms was $770m and 1 million homes without power’ by Kieran Rooney and published in The Age on Friday 13th September 2024; and

(d)  In this page on LinkedIn by Gerard Brody.

2)  About what happened on the 13th February 2024 is collated here on WattClarity.

Happy reading…
