Case context
Engineer A has determined that the solar without storage system produces equivalent energy at similar cost but is less reliable than the existing fossil-fueled co-generation facility and decreases the reliability of the broader electric grid. The board report must include this reliability information for the board to make an informed decision.

Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated, as a faithful agent of the organization, to present in the board report the finding that the solar without storage system will not be as reliable as the existing fossil-fueled co-generation facility, that it decreases the reliability of the entire local electric power system, and that installing a system without storage may result in rolling blackouts and facility interruptions — so that the board could make an informed decision about whether to proceed, invest in storage, or maintain the existing system.
Temporal scope
At the time of preparing and delivering the board report on the energy system replacement proposal
Source Evidence
Source text
Therefore, Engineer A has an obligation to present this information in a report to the board.
Text references
A report that does not contain information about the reliability of the utility source will not help them make an informed decision.
As a registered professional, Engineer A is obliged to include relevant and pertinent information in a report to the board.
Further, a system without energy storage decreases the reliability of the entire local electric power system.
Installing a system without storage may result in rolling blackouts and facility interruptions and thus not be a success.
The proposed solar generation system without storage may produce the same energy that the existing fossil-fueled generator does, but it will not be as reliable.
Therefore, Engineer A has an obligation to present this information in a report to the board.
