Field notes

Utilities buy plants the way farmers plant orchards: years before the fruit. Demand compounding at 30% doubles in under three years — the plant that saves year five is ordered in year three.

Solar is the cheapest megawatt and it clocks off at sunset — right when the town sits down to dinner. Firm capacity is what's there when the weather isn't.

A fictional town. Simplified teaching values, scaled for gameplay — not engineering data.
