Broken Hill BESS discharges into the Sunday evening peak (27th October 2024)

Posted by Paul McArdle Monday, October 28 2024 Topic: 2024-10-16 towers down Western NSW, 2024-10-27

What’s happening in Broken Hill is (understandably) generating some interest … pardon the pun.

… for instance, Tim Ryan’s posted this thread on LinkedIn that’s generating some comments.

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:
