Design a class-level system modeling a power plant that distributes electricity to multiple neighbourhoods, each with a stated demand, subject to the plant's total capacity.
Design a system that models a power plant with a fixed electricity capacity distributing power to a set of neighbourhoods, each with a stated demand. The plant may not have enough capacity to fully satisfy all demands simultaneously. How would you design this?
