Why a Peaking Power Facility? Grid operators use a mix of base, intermediate and peaking

plants to maintain the supply/demand balance of the grid Peaking power facilities ensure electric reliability and support

renewable energy CPV Sentinel:

Runs only when needed most (hot days) Starts and stops quickly (10 minutes) Backstops intermittent renewables (it is not always windy or sunny)
