the unreliability of coal fired power stations

 I was reading as-the-world-battles-to-slash-carbon-emissions-australia-considers-paying-dirty-coal-stations-to-stay-open-longer which proved quite interesting when this link jumped out at me.

aep-elical-assessment-of-ageing-coal-fired-generation-reliability. Yep interesting reading or what.

This confirms they are very vulnerable when it gets quite hot and only minimal capital expenditure is involved when the plants are in their last 7-8m years.  Both of these events exacerbates their unreliability.
