That is the very definition of shortage. We are sure not discussing things like peak load capacity here.

Right. I'm talking about how there can be an average surplus and also a peak shortage at the same time.

Articles talking about "power surplus" can't seem to decide if they mean average or peak, and I can't find an official definition of the term.
