Earlier we noted ‘Destructive Winds disrupt (and damage) transmission network in South Australia on Thursday (evening) 17th October 2024’.

Curiosity got the better of me so I grabbed the ElectraNet 2024 TAPR and (using page 48) put together the following picture to show the rough location of the transmission disruptions:

Times shown (in NEM time) are the times noted in the Market Notices in the earlier article (i.e. when the ‘unplanned outage’ occurred, not when the Notices were published).
