Case context
Capital constraints prevent installation of battery storage. The solar system is viable under normal conditions but cannot supply energy at night or in bad weather without storage. The utility has warned of potential rolling outages during extreme weather events, and the solar transition may worsen this risk.
Compliance status
unclear
Confidence
0.88
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A is obligated, as a faithful agent of the organization, to advise the board in writing that the proposed solar system without battery storage cannot guarantee continuous electric supply during extreme weather events or grid rolling blackout conditions, and that the transition may increase the probability of such events, so that the board can make an informed decision about whether to proceed, invest in storage, or maintain the existing generation capability.
Temporal scope
In the board report prepared for the solar project decision
Relationships
defeasibleUnder
Capital-Constrained Battery Storage Resilience Gap
Source Evidence
Source text
Capital constraints prevent the organization from installing a system of batteries to store energy for use at night or in bad weather, but the cost of installing the solar panels is essentially the same as the cost to rebuild the generator.

Engineer A is preparing a report that will be presented to the board to consider the new solar project
Engineer A learns that the utility resource planners reviewed their current generation mix and believe that during extreme weather events, they may be forced to institute rolling outages to keep system generating facilities on-line.
