The independent review into the explosion and fire at Callide power station in May 2021 has yet to be handed to state-owned CS Energy, while the replacement unit is also not up and running.
CS Energy is still working to replace the C4 unit at the Callide power station near Biloela in Central Queensland. Callide B is fully owned by the state government, while Callide C is a joint venture with private company InterGen.The return to service date for the new C4 unit, which has previously been estimated to cost at least $200 million, was supposed to be mid-2022. It was then pushed to December last year, then April this year, but has now been bumped to May.
Witnesses described the explosion at C4 in May 2021 as “like a bomb had gone off”. A 300-kilogram piece of shrapnel that became embedded in the roof of the turbine hall had to be removed by a crane. Josh Stabler, managing director of energy adviser Energy Edge, said the industry was still no closer to knowing what caused the explosion.
A spokeswoman for CS Energy said the timing of the report was up to Dr Brady who was ruling out all possible causes for the May 2021 event before looking at what organisational change was needed.
