This weekend 30-50% of gas capacity in Southwest Power Pool, or 10-15 GW, has been on forced outage. Luckily wind has been providing 15-25% of total electricity, with only 15% of the wind fleet on outage. A few GW of coal and diesel are also offline.

When utilities try to justify building gas plants they don’t account for these correlated outages, despite nearly a dozen events like this over the last decade. If they did new gas wouldn’t look good.
