Since there doesn't seem to be a thread on this subject yet, recently introduced AEMO constraints have been applied to a number of solar farms in North Queensland, including Genex's Kidston solar farm:

These constraints are likely to be short-lived, however I thought I might try to shed some light on how this has been impacting output at Kidston Solar Farm so far.
The following chart shows the 30-minute production of Kidston solar farm since 1 July 2020. As you can see, output has been curtailed from 28 July 2020 onwards. This seems to cap the solar farm at around 36 MW. Compared to other solar farms in the region, this is a relatively small amount of curtailment and not something to be particularly concerned about in my opinion.
