    Fucking great. From the summary let’s hope they only use it if they actually run out of NG.

      A coal plant takes weeks to start up, so I assume those reactivated plants from the emergency reserve will have to run the whole winter duration at least at low power. So in case of a very cold winter and gas shortage, the emergency plants can be turned up.

      They are already in use and currently producing 2x the amount of energy as our gas plants. This is about starting up additional ones for winter.
