I don't know much about what the problem is in this particular situation, but it may not be a generation capacity issue but a power grid issue or both. If grid capacity is the problem, the power plant you choose to use can alleviate or worsen that somewhat by balancing load evenly or unevenly on different parts of the system, but it can't fix the whole problem.
Wind power and solar power are even worse deals than they appear, as they are often situated where the loads aren't and are dependent on storage that doesn't exist; requiring instead an intricate dance of gas turbines, spinning reserve, hydro etc. carefully balancing the system and providing "storage" by deferring consumption. To transport that diffuse power you end up building power lines that will only be used 20-30% of the time in great big webs.
