Here’s four factors contributing to volatility in VIC+SA+TAS on Wednesday evening 8th July 2026
The volatility experienced in southern regions on Wednesday evening 8th July 2026 was due to a combination of factors - here's 4 of them (though there are others, also).
6 x Loy Yang units suffered ‘coal shortfall’ on Wednesday 8th July 2026
With the benefit of ‘next day public’ data in ez2view, we can see the 6 x Loy Yang units across Loy Yang A (AGL) and Loy Yang B (Alinta) rebid with some form of ‘coal shortfall’ or ‘coal conservation’ reason.
Something’s up (with output down*) at the 6 x Loy Yang units…!?
Another contributor to the high prices in VIC (and TAS and SA) on Wednesday evening 8th July 2026 will be the lower-than-expected output from all 6 x Loy Yang units for unknown reasons. Perhaps some coal issue?
