isn’t it normal for supply to only barely exceed demand? That’s what’s most efficient.
Out of curiosity, what did those graphs look like to you on previous years?

I didn’t live here in previous years, but I think it’s abnormal that multiple days in a week demand is estimated to be above supply.
And yes, it’s most efficient to keep supply and demand close. But based on this article and our recent trends, it seems like there’s some trouble / concern with unlocking the extra energy needed to supply everyone lately.
Its also historically not normal for demand to hit >85GW nearly every day.
