Large chunks of Australia’s Victoria state lost power on Tuesday afternoon when a major power plant shut down because a storm knocked out parts of the state’s electricity transmission network.
More than 500,000 homes or businesses had lost power, state energy minister Lily D’Ambrosio said in a social media post.
AGL said in a statement it was working to bring three of Loy Yang’s units back online through Tuesday evening.
“We continue to work with AEMO and stakeholders to investigate the cause of the issue.”
