Electricity cut to 60,000 Victorian customers as heat tests network

2 coal fired power stations going offline today. With a third expected to follow suit. Thanks to renewables the Blackouts weren't nearly as widespread as they could've been. renewables

Tic Toc, Good, Hope there will be more blackouts. We are the richest nation in the world with energy resources & we can't implement any of them. Selling out to dopey solar & wind that can't cope with large energy needs at a affordable rate. Australia can do better then this..

Poor Engineering, poor manufacture, probably paying peanuts to 3rd world manufacturing. What is wrong with using tolerant 300 degree steel & wire?

The only real answer is to increase population/demand through immigration and close more power plants before renewable infrastructure is online in sufficient capacity to take up the load - obviously

No warning either! 🙄

Privatised BANKS Privatised Water Privatised Gas Privatised Medical Privatised POWER Is any one joining the dots?

Welcome to the future, 4 more years of Labor.

The great Australian dream. Great politicians. Great infrastructure and we voted them in. The evidence over six decades shows that nuclear power is a safe means of generating electricity. The risk of accidents in nuclear power plants is low and declining.

why was there no advanced notice? who decides which homes go without?

This is what happens when you over populate suburbs and blow up perfectly decent power stations. CutDansPower

Despite SA sending power to Victoria.

Disgraceful for a first world country!
