The Australian Energy Market Operator said it was unlikely the electric fault would impact the overall network.

Victoria’s biggest coal-fired power station, AGL’s Loy Yang A, has been hit by its second electrical fault in three years, knocking out about a quarter of its power supply.

AGL said it was assessing the length of any maintenance outage, and what efforts could be taken to mitigate the impact. “AGL will inform the market of any financial impact of the technical fault and timing of the outage once these assessments have occurred,” the company said in a statement.
