Description (excerpt):
This paper analyzes new generation capacity that was completed and began operating in 2013, with a focus on the financial arrangements behind such resources. This same analysis was conducted two years ago for new capacity constructed in 2011.1 Between these two reports, multiple events and developments have drawn increasing attention to the need to not only ensure resource adequacy overall, but to achieve the right balance of different types of capacity and in the optimal locations on the grid.
