Thanks Tom.
From reading some more I found out that a more important variable is the cost of cycling.
Depleted reservoirs have a higher cost, and rough was started in 80s and is close to end of life.
Main idea seems to be a lower cost allows you to capture more of wider tails of the spread distribution so you can cycle more.
.basically turnover the energy more often making it capital efficent.
That is probably why rough is not great as it has a cycle rate of 1.3 per year vs 5plus on some other facilities.
Thanks for your ongoing support
