The peak demand in the WECC is about 170,000 MW, so 675/17000060min/hr60s/min=14 seconds with of power.
While the time is interesting for context, it is more about reducing the magnitude of the peak when there are no other generators to bring online or transmission capacity is saturated than powering the entire load.
