Some good news I saw this morning 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:
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.
The GB01 unit (the back-up genset that has been supporting the Broken Hill area the past few days) has come offline overnight – early Friday 25th October 2024:.
It’s Wednesday morning and the backup generator in Broken Hill (GB01) has run successfully through the night after restarting Tuesday afternoon 22nd October 2024.
