They don't. They explicitly compete for the same spot, the cheapest most inflexible power generation. Nuclear obviously loses here and are pushed closer to the peaker side and is hampered by the insanely costly initial investment. The closer to peaker you are the more you want the price to only be operating costs.
- caoilte 5y agodunno why this got down voted. Nuclear is a terrible peaker tech and yet pairing it with solar/wind requires it to be flexible and so you end up overproducing. There isn't a perfect scalable peaker / clean generation tech unfortunately but storage does the trick instead.
