Modeled sensitivity
Gas allocation and merit-order competitiveness are key sensitivities
A modeled exposure signal based on the tracked inputs and drivers; it is not a measure of observed sector health.

Gas power: dispatch economics depend on fuel availability and competing generation.
Gas-based power plants run at variable load factor; economics depend on gas-vs-coal merit order and domestic gas allocation. Many plants idle at current prices.
Sensitivity drivers
Why it matters
Gas is one input in a power system that also depends on coal, renewables, transmission, and distribution economics. Its value can increase when flexible generation is needed, while fuel availability and cost determine whether gas-fired capacity is competitive in dispatch decisions.
