Yes, this is a 1st-order assessment (as elevated in the intro and expanded on elsewhere). There are factors that may increase estimated headroom & others that may reduce headroom. See limitation section for full discussion & explanation starting 35:10 in the webinar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNdN...

Indeed - and it means there's a *lot* of headroom for loads that don't put upward pressure on existing net peaks!

Another way to visualize this is with the load duration curve.

Agree that accelerated IX is tip of spear for DC flex, but Jigar is saying the *avg* cost of power is now $100/MWh, which implies higher for peaks. “Flexibility” also entails on-site power/storage which becomes much more attractive at these rates.

... 3) Flexible load service doesn't have to be permanent - it can "buy us time" until grid upgrades are complete!
Great discussion with @blanholman.bsky.social et al.
