Driving this sea change in long-term planning is a combination of public pressure and energy economics. The falling costs of wind and solar power are pushing utilities to find ways to incorporate them into their long-range plans, even as they struggle to define what resources can be relied on to provide the dispatchable power they need.

Major power market redesign could see wind, solar, and nuclear generators sell electricity at a lower price than fossil gas power plants. Under the so-called 'green power pool' system, the price of electricity would be largely set by the actual cost of generation, rather than being distorted by surging global gas prices.
