NSW energy supply ‘healthier’ as generators switch back on | lucycormack
The state government is unlikely to pull the trigger on emergency powers forcing coal companies to give fuel to electricity generators after the market operator advised that stability was returning.
Another generator is also expected to come online again on Saturday, providing further reserve capacity. “We’re just putting those powers aside and on standby if we need them. As I said, this morning’s update from [AEMO] gives me, and should give everyone, great confidence that we’re out of those difficult conditions that we saw earlier in the week,” he said.“We’ll take advice from [AEMO] if we need to consider using them, but that’s not the advice ... everything is looking much better than it was earlier in the week.
He blamed the state’s ageing infrastructure for the energy crisis that resulted in the national market operator’s unprecedented decision to suspend electricity trading for the entire east coast.
