Queensland is again bracing for blackouts amid forecasted energy supply shortfalls, while the NSW treasurer is confident they can be avoided in his state.

Source:Australia's peak energy regulator has warned of supply shortfalls that could cause blackouts in Queensland and NSW on Tuesday evening.

In Queensland, Transmission company Powerlink's Chief Executive Paul Simshauser says people should "be a bit thoughtful" and reduce their energy use on Tuesday night. Supplies are low in Queensland even though there is "sufficient physical generation capacity" in the state, AMEO said. But while shortfalls in energy supply have eased overnight, Mr Bowen said there would still be a difficult period over the winter months.

"We will be in for a bumpy period, there is no doubt about that," he told the Seven Network on Tuesday.Outages at coal-fired power plants, at the same time as household heating is in high demand, are putting pressure on the electricity system. With some coal plants still offline, Mr Bowen said he expected the market operator to intervene if required to keep the power running.

I was waiting for the $250 reduction as promised by Labor before the elections. Does this mean the cost of power is going up?

Bring our power and gas back under state ownership. Privatisation has caused this crisis as our national resources are exported for profit and power is being withheld by private companies after regulators imposed price caps that reduce their profits.

Rainy one day blackout the next.

People in Queensland, NSW face potential power blackouts tonightQueensland and New South Wales are warned of potential blackouts with a power shortage expected tonight, as the Australian Energy Market Operator issues a 'lack of reserve' forecast, meaning demand is likely to outstrip supply in the two states. Get used to it, general public. Muppets carrying on like this is new. This was always going to be results of agressive & premature renewable push which has already pushed out coal generators, insecurely so, and left with a very unstable grid. It’s only going to get worse We have to be the dumbest country on Earth. Fair dinkum...
