It’s what I was trying to get across. Use nuclear where you would use a peaked plant and then direct the nuclear entry into storage when renewables are active.

- h0l0cube 3y agoMy point is that nuclear isn’t suitable for peaking, and given the lead times and capex for building new plants, and the rapidly declining price of storage, it makes them an undesirable financial investment especially when you consider that renewable overcapacity will shift the need from baseload to backup. The better bet is storage, with gas peakers tiding us over for the next 1-2 decades before they are obsolete too
