Earlier, we noted ‘Unit trip at Loy Yang A1 on Monday morning 7th September 2026 (part 1)’.  Here we follow that on with two more snapshots from ez2view v9.20.272.

Firstly, the ‘Bids & Offers’ widget shows the rebid reason being, perhaps ominous as:

‘020 Reduction in avail cap~203 plant failure 560MW – investigation to follow.’

I’ve not found anything subsequent elsewhere (with respect to the investigation or the cause of outage), in a quick scan.

We also see, via the ‘Forecast Convergence’ widget, that this short period of unplanned outage runs into what is an already lengthy planned outage to start in <14 days time on Saturday 25th September 2026:
