The state is facing resource adequacy concerns as well as the need for more flexible generation resources to help complement more variable - output renewable resources, particularly solar, being added to the system.

The models currently assume a generally static global energy budget with relatively little internal system variability so that measurable changes in the various input and output components can only occur from external forcing agents such as changes in the CO2 content of the air caused by human emissions or perhaps temporary after effects from volcanic eruptions, meteorite strikes or significant changes in solar power output.

This funding system granted a premium on top of the electricity pool price of 12 $ cents for each kWh output of a solar thermal plant between 100 kW and 50 MW of capacity, which could be changed every four years.

Now, if our earth has a thermostat and does not allow all the water to boil away, i.e. a shield, like clouds, then we have an oscillatory system: the water cycle creates more clouds at high solar output and diminished clouds at low solar output.

Solar thermal systems such as the new 64 - MW Nevada Solar One installation should have smoother output power than PV systems because the thermal inertia of the oil used as a working fluid is expected to continue producing electricity despite the fluctuating thermal input.

Since such models can not account for the climate system's apparent sensitivity to small perturbations in solar energy apparently brought about by the very long term changes in the Earth's orbit about the Sun, they may also underestimate climate sensitivity to energy output fluctuations caused by solar activity, even during the eleven - year Schwabe cycle.
