Primarily works in the FCAS market where it has proven it's worth.
Only 30MW of the 100MW works in the energy market.
Although all of the battery can be called on in an emergency should something like the interconnector go out suddenly, giving time for slower acting sources of generation to be called upon.
During the peak time that didn't happen so the part of the battery operating in the market took the opportunity to discharge while the prices were at their highest making hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The emergency jet engine generators were also instructed by the market operator to fire up and because they were directed by the operator the owner, which is the State Government will get paid $millions probably.
