The Callide C Power Station Joint Venture (JV) has revised the forecast return to service date for Unit C3 following the recent incident on its cooling tower.
The JV advised the market on Friday, 25 November that the return to service date for Unit C3 had changed from 3 January 2023 to 11 February 2023.
CS Energy owns Callide C in a 50/50 joint venture (JV) with InterGen Australia.
The Callide C JV, together with CS Energy as the operator, are continuing to assess options in relation to the Unit C3 cooling tower, following a structural failure of a section of the cooling tower on 31 October 2022.
CS Energy is also working cooperatively with Workplace Health and Safety Queensland as they continue their investigation of the incident.
It not unusual for generators to adjust their return to service dates for units that are undergoing major maintenance or repairs, depending on issues identified during the process.
