Question: You sell energy in units of power-over-time. In this case the unit we will use is "Megawatt-Hours." Your current plant runs entirely on natural gas and is capable of generating 1000 Megawatts of electricity, which translates to 8.8M Megawatt-Hours per year if it runs 24/7/365. However, it does not generally run around the clock. You know the following things about your business:

- You lease the land on which your power plant operates from the state for $5M/month

- You have fixed costs of $25M/year, which covers general plant upkeep, salaried workers, etc.

- You have variable costs equal to $20 per megawatt-hour

- You are able to sell electricity for $40 per megawatt-hour

- Your investors have contributed $400M to EnergyOne and expect to make back 10% of that in profit each year

What is the minimum amount of electricity you need to generate and sell to hit the required profit?
