Apologies to readers that this short article will seem cryptic to many.

I’m adding in here a view of the ‘Generator Outages’ widget in ez2view at the 07:55 dispatch interval on Wednesday 9th April 2025:

    Including Callide C3, that appears to show that the entire coal fleet of Australian generators had an equivalent forced outage rate, EFOR, of ~5% for the period in question.

    Not a disaster, then?
