Nah, dirty unreliable old crap coal
Looks like a weather event.
Perhaps the network was at it's most sensitive bushfire mitigation setting as a precaution.
Time will tell.
Possible scenario:
Passing storm and lightning strikes caused two transmission lines to trip.
Resulting in Loy Yang A having no connection to market so it trips to protect itself.
Triggering rolling blackouts to further protect infrastructure.
