AGL in conjunction with River Murray Operations announced today that releases from Dartmouth Reservoir will be increased for the purposes of electricity generation.
The current discharge at Coleman’s Gauge of 500 megalitres per day (ML/d) or 1.17 metres gauge height will be gradually increased to 1,500 ML/d or 1.57 metres gauge height, commencing 1:00 pm on Monday 1 July 2024.
This increase is expected to result in the flow at Tallandoon rising to approximately 1,420 ML/d or 1.76 metres gauge height.
The duration of the increased releases for electricity generation is until approximately 4:00 pm on Wednesday 3 July 2024 but will be dependent upon electricity demand in the near future. A further flow advice will be issued when there is a significant change to the release program.
