The health and safety of CS Energy’s people is its highest priority as it responds to the structural failure of part of the Unit C3 cooling plant at Callide Power Station yesterday. Nobody was injured when the incident occurred and Unit C3 has been taken offline as a precaution, with restricted access to the area. Engineers are currently assessing the damage and the repairs required to make the area safe and return the unit to operation. CS Energy has also notified Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. The Unit C3 cooling plant is a long, horizontal structure approximately 15 metres high and is comprised of 36 cooling cells. At this stage it appears that two cells are damaged. CS Energy owns Callide C in a 50/50 joint venture (JV) with InterGen Australia. The Callide C JV has advised the market that Unit C3 will return to service on 21 November 2022. The return to service date is based on the information that the JV has available at this point in time and may be subject to further change. Callide Power Station has a permanent workforce of 226 people and is comprised of two power plants, Callide B and C, each with two generating units (B1 and B2, C3 and C4). Units B1 and B2 were unaffected by the incident and are continuing to generate electricity. Unit C4 is offline for the Unit C4 recovery works and will return to service in April 2023. We will provide further updates as information becomes available.
