Request[edit]

Hello People. Probably it would be nice to mentioned the events of Thursday 14 of December in this article even though it mostly concerns the battery. Coal unit Loy Yang A 3 dropped it's load and caused a sudden loss of power. Within milliseconds the battery reacted by releasing few MWs into the grid to stabilise frequency. The battery basically proved it's abilities as a nation-wide ancillary service provider, besides being a supplement to the wind power farm. Thank you!

Completion[edit]

Hornsdale Wind Farm is now completed and all three stages are in service according to AEMO (https://www.aemo.com.au/-/media/Files/Electricity/NEM/Planning_and_Forecasting/Generation_Information/December-2017/Generation_Information_SA_22-Dec-2017.xlsx) however there doesn't seem to be any media releases that confirm its commission except for this poster (https://hornsdalewindfarm.com.au/4788-2/). Instead most news appears to focus on the completion of the Hornsdale Power Reserve with the implication that Hornsdale Wind Farm is complete.

Given that all three stages are contributing to the grid as confirmed by AEMO the page should be updated to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.215.4.176 (talk) 03:37, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
