Sparky wasn't that old!

It was commissioned in January 2000, upgraded in 2005 from 385MW to 404MW and ceased generation at the end of September 2015. The typical lifespan of a combined cycle gas power station at 30 years is double that. What a debacle.

Contact's upgrade to SAP, which was forced (by Origin), expensive and ultimately customer value destroying also shows how relatively poorly the company was run by overseas management. Any update on that fiasco at the meeting?

The question is, have things changed?

PS: Thanks for the updates from the meeting Blendy, much appreciated.
