Looks like NI hydro is really struggling looks to be around the 5%ile at present with generation well down (around 500 MW being generated from NI hydro compared to 2,500 MW SI Hydro) - should be a good month for generation for MEL they should be able to sell excess into the wholesale market with prices > $200 MW.
Great for MEL (due for another run) and not so good for MCY, (don't hold the latter).
