Tim noted our article ‘Broken Hill BESS restarts operations (cautiously), on Saturday 26th October 2024’ from Saturday evening … so worth following up with this updated trend chart to show that (whilst it did not happen Saturday evening as Penny Sharpe had supposed that morning), it did happen Sunday evening that the battery briefly discharged into the Sunday evening peak in demand:

Updates from Minister Penny Sharpe on Sunday 27th October
Paul was one of the founders of Global-Roam in February 2000. He is currently the CEO of the company and the principal author of WattClarity. Writing for WattClarity has become a natural extension of his work in understanding the electricity market, enabling him to lead the team in developing better software for clients.
Before co-founding the company, Paul worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the Queensland Electricity Commission in the early 1990s. He also gained international experience in Japan, the United States, Canada, the UK, and Argentina as part of his ES Cornwall Memorial Scholarship.
Some good news I saw (on Wednesday morning 30th Oct 2024) was that Broken Hill might be reconnected to the wider grid (albeit on the temporary towers for now) as early as this Saturday 2nd November 2024 – via this LinkedIn update from Penny Sharpe, Energy Minister.
Elon Musk’s ‘100 days or it’s free’ offer was made almost exactly 7 years ago – how much longer or shorter have battery development delivery times changed since then?
