Pelican Point Power Station

In reply to Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14 February 2017).

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy): On 8 February 2017 at 6:31pm (ACDT), after checking on the status of the unit and making gas supply arrangements, ENGIE informed the Australian Energy Market Operator that if directed the off line unit could be available to synchronise by 7:30pm (ACDT). Therefore, it would take one hour.

The full sequence of events has been thoroughly documented by the Australian Energy Market Operator in their System Event Report for South Australia for 8 February 2017.
