7. 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)
