Preliminary Analysis of the Treatment of Different Technology Types under the CPM: Information Note
In February 2008, the SEM Committee published a discussion paper regarding the treatment of wind generation (SEM/008/02) in the Single Electricity Market (SEM), in the context of non-diverse intermittent generation. The wind discussion paper sets out certain key matters that the SEM Committee considered necessary to examine in the context of increasing wind penetration, including the remuneration of wind generation under the capacity payment mechanism. The information note published today examines the remuneration of various technology types, including wind, under that mechanism for the first eight months of the SEM and sets out next steps in this regard.
