Unplanned Outage Surges
Definition
Victorian coal plants had 145 outages instead of 17 planned, increasing blackout risks and under-supply.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10-50M+ in lost revenue per prolonged outage event (industry est. for multi-GW shortfalls)
- Frequency: Seasonal surges (e.g., 145 in 6 months)
- Root Cause: Unreliable aging coal units with inadequate planning/forecasting of forced outages
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Fossil Fuel generators in Victoria waste capacity on 145 surprise outages vs 17 planned. Better Outage Planning and Reporting prevents blackouts and revenue loss.
