Firm power is electricity generation that is guaranteed to be available 100% of the time, except for scheduled maintenance, and is used to meet electricity demand at any time, even under adverse conditions. It is a reliable, dispatchable power source that can be contracted or sold as a commercial attribute in electricity markets, contrasting with intermittent power like solar and wind. Clean firm power refers to carbon-free resources with these same reliable characteristics, such as geothermal, nuclear, and long-duration storage.
