Russian Nuclear Power Plants, page-6

Truthinbeer, we've managed to move from a country that had one o f the cheapest electricity supplies in the world to a country that can barely cope with summer days. Its a national disgrace.

I borrowed this from Smurf1976 over on ASF because of his energy knowledge:

Another tight supply situation coming up in Vic on Wednesday 13 December.

Forecast maximum load = 8966 MW

Generation available within Vic = 7513 MW

Available supply from NSW, Tas, SA (combined) = 1941 MW

Reserve capacity = 489 MW

Now, there's 7 individual sources of supply currently in operation supplying Vic which are each larger than 489 MW. If any one of them fails then that's a problem (load shedding aka blackouts). There would be another one but that died in a big way back in October (it's a major failure not just a breakdown there).

What happens when we get a string of 35C+ days across VIC,SA and NSW?
