The grid needs electricity most during extreme temperatures so that we can all stay reasonably cool during sweltering heat waves and reasonably warm during frigid cold winter storms. Further, gas plants that require cooling , like gas steam and combined cycle plants, are cooled less efficiently in high temperatures.
