What happens when promise of electricity reliability fails in bad weather? How can gas power plant owners claim to be reliable but fail to make adequate efforts to purchase fuel? We know that consumers pay for electricity reliability and bear the cost when supplies are tight.

Analysts are predicting in could become the first source of electricity globally by mid-century. The duck curve , as it is called, refers to the difference between peak electricity production from solar and peak electricity demand. South-facing panels maximise electricity production, hence are more profitable).
