Consider the following scenario: In Great Britain, the electricity system operator publishes a wind generation forecast of 14 GW for 7 PM on the next day. On the morning of the next day, the electricity system operator revised its wind generation forecast for 7 PM down from 14 GW to 11 GW.

The article starts with a sentence: “New England power producers are preparing for potential strain on the grid this winter [Winter 2022-23: December 2022 through February 2023] as a surge in natural-gas demand abroad threatens to reduce supplies they need to generate electricity.” For Question 1, consider the New England market for electricity prior to Winter 2022-23 by considering this setting roughly one year ago, in December 2021. Assume that in December of 2021, the market for electricity was in a short-run equilibrium. Draw a graph that shows supply and demand for electricity market in its December 2021 equilibrium.
