One of four units at the Loy Yang A power station, located in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, has resumed operation following a shut down due to damage caused by severe storms.
The power station’s remaining three units are still in the process of being reconnected to the grid. When fully functional, Loy Yang A has a maximum capacity of about 2,200MW and generates approximately 30 per cent of Victoria’s power.
The shutdown has been attributed to the collapsing of two transmission towers that prevented them from transmitting electricity, which in turn caused Loy Yang A to trip.
BLOODY MR YANG !
