Fucking great. From the summary let's hope they only use it if they actually run out of NG.

A coal plant takes weeks to start up, so I assume those reactivated plants from the emergency reserve will have to run the whole winter duration at least at low power. So in case of a very cold winter and gas shortage, the emergency plants can be turned up.
