Interesting commentary about the reliability of fossil generators, particular in the heat. One of the most interesting ones was the HELE plants being less reliable than old coal.
Gee, I hope the posters that are calling for 5 new HELE plants immeadiately know about that ? Is that why they recommend 5 when we actually only need 2 ?
Are the other 3 for backup ?
" Australia’s fossil fuel generators broke down on 135 different occasions in 2018, with coal generators failing once in every three days and new “HELE” technology favoured by the federal Coalition government failing more often than the country’s ageing black coal fleet. "
