Let's use this issue to write down the pros and cons and take a decision.\r\n\r\n**PROS**\r\n- with the merit order on, the behaviour of the ETM is much more realistic\r\n- the new flexibility feature only works when merit is switched on\r\n- quite a few charts rely on the merit order being switched on (although this has been solved quite nicely with the new merit order warning)\r\n\r\n**CONS**\r\n- with the merit order on, the future year and present year of a scenario are no longer identical (I know they currently aren't either because of the timecurves for gas, oil, etc., but the difference will become much more pronounced)\r\n- with the merit order on, there will be no import if electricity for the future year of the scenario, which for the Netherlands is very different from the present\r\n\r\nJohn is strongly in favour of switching the merit order ON for the default scenario, unless it puts to much load on the servers.\r\n\r\nWhat about you, @AlexanderWirtz , @dennisschoenmakers , @ChaelKruip and @antw ?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/quintel/etmodel/issues/comments/182249372","html_url":"https://github.com/quintel/etmodel/issues/2017#issuecomment-182249372","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/quintel/etmodel/issues/2017","id":182249372,"user":{"login":"jorisberkhout","id":4669028,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4669028?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout","html_url":"https://github.com/jorisberkhout","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jorisberkhout/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-10T08:19:21Z","updated_at":"2016-02-10T08:19:21Z","body":"Reopening this.
