*3.3. Coal Generation and Load Factor*

Despite the floored impact of solar power on coal decommissioning, it can still reduce the coal generation and load factor. As seen in Figure 13, even beyond 12 GW, the coal generation is constantly decreasing in all LNG quota scenarios. Figure 14 further reveals that the load factor decreases as more solar capacity is installed into the grid. It should be noted that the load factors were computed using the minimum coal capacity as presented in Figure 11, which results in both a decrease in capacity and utilization rate.
