My wind generation forecast will be 220 MW offered at $40/MWH to the market

Tomorrow is a day off and since there is plentiful low cost solar we will recharge fleet of PHEVs.

It is warm enough to need to run air conditioning but with adequate solar, no need to buy MW from the market.

Natural Gas to be at $11.40 per 1K cu ft. and Energy prices are low so no benefit to run CCGT

Congestion from Manufacturing Load forces reconfiguration of the distribution grid to protect transformer assets.
