So these replacements are at best years away.

Yet they're jacking up the costs now when there's no real alternatives.
Most operators are waiting for electricity prices to recover before they go ahead with projects which will start happening once the first remaining group of coal plants start retiring. They'll also benefit from the replacement of the SGER with the Carbon levy.
