Bayswater Unit 4 begins to return to service – Wednesday morning 20th November 2024

Posted by Paul McArdle Wednesday, November 20 2024 Topic: 2024-11-20

As noted here earlier this morning things are not currently* looking rosy for the NSW region early next week:

1)  on Monday 25th November 2024 there is a deep forecast LOR2; and

2)  on Tuesday 26th November 2024 there is a deeper forecast LOR2 (and even load shedding forecast under a potential LOR3).

 

So it’s some welcome news to see this alert from the ‘Notifications’ widget in ez2view this morning noting that the BW04 unit has commenced its return to service process (up at 6MW at 07:36 NEM time this morning):

Here’s a snapshot of the ‘Bids & Offers’ widget in ez2view … which I opened to see if there was anything more in yesterday’s bids:

We see that the rebids shown reference ‘RTS (return to service) later than expected’.

I’m sure that there are a number of market participants glad to see the start of the return to service (and hoping for a smooth return) as we see here in the ‘Generator Outages’ widget that the sibling BW03 unit needs to come offline for an unplanned outage imminently:
