I would say (Based on your second last post) that that was likely to be when Engie decided to pull the plug on it.
My biggest surprise is that there seems to be so much on the go by way of renewables given the federal governments rhetoric against them. In reality they have barely moved on from "Coal is good for humanity" (Particularly listening to the justifications put forward for the Adani mine this morning) and "Disgusting eyesore" references to turbines.
For once IMO we need to be thankful of private enterprise in the power space or the situation would continue to get worse. Coal can not realistically be seen as anything but on the decline and the federal government have spent the last three and a half years making renewables look like a risky investment while actively promoting coal, the only way I could see a new coal fired station being built in Australia would be if a government built it, private enterprise seems pretty apathetic on the idea, with good reason when it is on the nose and only likely to get worse worldwide and they would be doing the sums regard risk and returns on a 50 year asset.
