Longreach Power House Faces Ongoing Troubles
Longreach Shire Council heard from Neil Smith of the Electricity Commission that the gas producer engine at the power house is now running, but the main issue remains restoring the balance of plant and back up service. He warned blackouts are unlikely if these fixes proceed, urged coal burning producers as an alternative, and praised recent fuel savings while noting labor shortages slow progress. The council agreed to pursue emergent steps, including leveraging Commission resources and gas producer options, to restore full power supply and minimize outages.
