Energy Minister Mick de Brenni says power has been restored to all homes and businesses impacted by the incident at Callide C Power Station on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Minister de Brenni said the Australian Energy Market Operator was confident there would be sufficient supply to meet demand going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we originally prepared for load shedding to occur across the State, I\u2019m pleased to report this was not required last night,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe network is now stabilised, meaning Queenslanders can be confident in reliable supply.”<\/p>\n

Extra capacity from the Wivenhoe Pumped Hydroelectric Power Station and Swanbank E Power Station brought the system back into balance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Callide C went down, we were able to boost both Wivenhoe and Swanbank E to help fill the deficit,” Mr de Brenni said.<\/p>\n
