Firstly you did say "No matter what loy yang is replaced with , 2200Mw base load equivalent will take 20 play years to develop and install. It's not going to pop uplike a mushroom. In other words the closure is not going to happen in the time frame given" (my bolding)

I apologize if I have not completed my statement... let me correct "frankly your posts are so hinged with some fact and a lot of arrogance, I don't see why I should reply - throw it back over 2 years ago to your initial posts and statement of the impossibility of renewables to replace coal generation from Loy Yang before 2035"

oh no - i read the full article before I referred you to the website (I don't post on headlines)... I am not sure how you could imply my comment about the post was anything other than ... "6 day install time per turbine" ...exactly what I said

Thanks for informing me on the WA turbines, when I looked on their websites, you don't get that kind of information... would that also result in the turbine shutting down at lower typical speeds to prevent problems?

As for Coopers Gap capacity factor... this is from AGLs own website... FY21 certainly looked in the vicinity of 31-32%... FY22 looks like 33-34% and FY23 like 35-36% to me. From memory - they had to replace a few turbine generators upon initial commissioning in 2020? (yep - link attached

To clarify - are you implying that AGL is falsely providing information to their investors and stakeholders???

this information is obviously an annual average so there is obviously periods of more or less - recent data from the GNX wind resource monitoring showed information on seasonal variation... let me dig that up too

https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/65140675/single - data for Kidston indicates wind resource between June and October is the lowest levels


https://hotcopper.com.au/posts/65702693/single - expected annual capacity factor 38% with an inverse daily generation profile to solar (most at night)
