I understand the economics of it tui, in your case of milk there is no alternative, but with the case of gas fired electricity for peak loading, well there already is an alternative it is already cheap and it is only going to get cheaper, solar is already making huge inroads into the supply of electricity, coal and gas fired electricity suppliers are already on the slippery slope of a death spiral, those power providers already know this and are running scared, but increasing the cost of gas fired power will not help them, all it will do is increase the rate of defection, had they gone about it in the right way in the first place and supplied the local market or should I say maintain it at a reasonable price, then the predicament they now face would not have happened so soon, when battery storage becomes cheaper and it will, then the whole electricity market will change forever.

Remember it is all about Supply and DEMAND
