(Remember that solar farms generate electricity at about 20 - 25 % of «nameplate» capacity on average, while combined - cycle gas plants nationally average 50 - 60 %, and can achieve 70 % or higher.

To ensure reliability, generating companies have built efficient, low - cost natural gas combined cycle plants to back - up the intermittent renewable plants.

If the U.S. were instead to use that natural gas to generate electricity as part of a portfolio with renewable sources of electricity, the analysis shows that «if the entire vehicle fleet were converted to electric vehicles and high efficiency natural gas combined - cycle power plants were used to generate all the additional electricity required, the increase in natural gas demand would be significantly less» than if the entire fleet was burning natural gas in its combustion engines — roughly a decrease in natural gas usage of 19 billion cubic feet per day.

Our costs have fallen 58 per cent in the last five years, and we know projects that tap into Alberta's high - quality wind resources can produce electricity more affordably today than any other generating technology aside from combined - cycle natural gas plants and gas co-generation facilities.
