Case context
Engineer A's analysis found that the solar without storage system produces equivalent energy at similar cost, but this equivalence finding does not address reliability — a material distinction that must be explicitly drawn in the board report.

Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to explicitly qualify the finding that the solar without storage system produces equivalent energy at similar cost by clarifying that 'equivalent' energy production does not mean equivalent reliability, and to affirmatively disclose that the proposed system is less reliable than the existing fossil-fueled co-generation facility in ways that affect both the organization's operations and the broader electric grid.
Temporal scope
At the time of preparing and delivering the board report on the energy system replacement proposal

Note that 'equivalent' as used to this point in the discussion has not addressed reliability.
Text references
Further, a system without energy storage decreases the reliability of the entire local electric power system.
Given the facts presented in this case, the solar generation system without storage will provide energy generation equivalent to the existing fossil-fueled generator at a similar cost; the system also reduces the organization's carbon footprint.
Note that 'equivalent' as used to this point in the discussion has not addressed reliability.
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.
