Resiliency is incompatible with optimization: if you have spare capacity, you are leaving profits on the table. If you enforce the power plants must work at 0 or below, you are wasting money 99.9% of the time.

Assume the former by default as most people are cheap, so rent on-prem diesel generators to the chicken little, and everybody will be happy.
