From the transcript
So I have a little bit of experience in this. I was a commissioner at ML&P when it merged with Chugach Electric, and there was a lot of great arguments for that, economic arguments that why we have two plants up and running and one spinning just in case, you know, they had a surge and needed to spin up. That all has increased costs. So this idea of a grid, which we are gradually moving to, it's inevitable in my opinion. And we're building the infrastructure up, by the way, right now to have those redundant systems.
