Yeah I remember when it was consistently between 15GW-17GW offline.

[Lupus]

Here's the numbers from a year ago
Breakdowns are currently at 17 920MW of generating capacity while the generating capacity out of service for planned maintenance is 3 412MW.
So basically we're at 7GW better on unplanned breakdowns since May 1st 2023.

2 years ago
We currently have 3 875MW on planned maintenance, while another 15 067MW of capacity is unavailable due to breakdowns
