Changes

: To meet the changing demand for [[electricity]] companies must be able to increase or decrease the amount of [[energy]] needed quickly.

The following '''energy resources''' can be used to quickly increased or decreased [[electricity]] production to meet the demands:

*[[Crude Oil]] - The amount burned can be changed over a period of minutes.

*[[Natural Gas]] - The amount burned can be changed at a moments notice.

A minimum of 20,000MW are needed throughout the [[day]] which can be produced by any available '''energy resource'''. However, a variable amount of [[power]] (around 20,000MW) is also needed, which can only be generated by '''energy resources''' which can quickly vary their [[power]] output.
