Episode description
The Australian Energy Market Operator is warning that New South Wales may face blackouts from 2027 if the Eraring power station closes as scheduled. The report indicates that while renewable energy and transmission infrastructure are adequate, grid system security and synchronous condensers are not being installed quickly enough. Origin Energy may need to keep the coal-fired power station operating for an additional two years to prevent power shortages.
