Answer: A
Correct answer: 60 per cent
The maximum possible generation is the capacity running continuously: \[ 500\ \mathrm{MW} \times 8760\ \mathrm{h} = 4{,}380{,}000\ \mathrm{MWh} = 4380\ \mathrm{GWh}, \qquad \frac{2628}{4380} = 0.60. \] The 8760 hours in a year is the constant to have ready; every plant load factor and capacity utilisation calculation runs through it.
