SEM-09-104 Inputs for Capacity Requirement Calculation for 2010

Published Date: 11/11/2009

On 27 August 2009, the Regulatory Authorities (RAs) published a decision paper on the ‘Fixed Cost of a Best New Entrant Peaking Plant, Capacity Requirement & Annual Capacity Payment Sum for the Calendar Year 2010’ (SEM-09-087). Within this paper the Capacity Requirement for 2010 was determined, using the same methodology as has been employed in previous years.

The RAs wish to improve the transparency of the Capacity Requirement Calculation. With this in mind, the RAs have decided to publish the inputs that were used for determining the Capacity Requirement for 2010. This paper summarised the main input used and have the data sheets used in the calculation as a series of appendices.
