A short time ago a generation outage of the CS energy generator at Biloela in Queensland left many customers in Queensland without power. The cause of the incident is under investigation by the Australian Energy Market Operator. We're working to investigate the impact on customers in regional Queensland. Emergency events like these are matters we take very seriously. We're working with the market operator to determine the impact and the cause of this event and to restore power as quickly as possible to customers. Our thoughts at this time, first and foremost, are on the safety of the 260 workers at the Callide Power Station and the customers who rely on that power for their livelihoods.
