More importantly like I said earlier, traders of a company like Enmax or Epcor are not allowed to have advance knowledge of outages. It's a serious infraction. So in a perfect world, if Enmax decided to just take a power plant off line for the hell of it. They would be screwing themselves, since their traders likely committed to delivering energy at a certain price and now they would have to import energy or buy it at the spot rate which would be higher due to the outage.
