If you spent any time looking at those links you posted earlier you'd know that for many assets their total net generation regularly matches or exceeds the MC rating. At this exact moment there are three solar generators producing at their MC rating. That is not theoretical. There are also ISO Tarriff implications with that rating.
In short, the MC rating is not the same as nameplate and is not theoretical.

Literally nobody in this thread is making that mistake.
