Wellington North Solar Farm back online (late Sunday afternoon 7th December and) Monday 8th December 2025

Yesterday afternoon at 15:30 (NEM time) we published ‘Wellington North Solar Farm offline in ST PASA data from Saturday 6th December 2025, following grassfire’:

2025-12-07-WattClarity-WellingtonNorthSolarFarm-offline

 

Taking an updated look on Monday morning 8th December 2025, we see that the unit’s already come back online:

2025-12-08-at-08-10-ez2view-UnitDashboard-WELNSF1

As noted:

1)  The unit produced a small burst of output late yesterday afternoon:

(a)  beginning ~70 minutes after we’d posted that article; and

(b)  noting that both LOCL and ELAV were lower than prior levels … perhaps precautionary?

2)  But this morning we see the unit’s ramping back up near maximum capacity, and the availability in ST PASA suggests no long term damage to the plant?
