NPRR159  Resource Category Startup Offer Generic Cap for Wind Resources

Approved sponsor Heddie Lookadoo on behalf of the VCWG posted 2008-10-03 next action Consideration ercot.com
ReasonWMS requested that the Verifiable Cost Working Group (VCWG) review the generic startup cost for wind Resources and assign a value for the cap. The intent of the $7200 renewable cost for O & M was to focus on the recapturing of costs of hydro Resources. The cost of a wind Resource is not comparable to other renewable Resources and should have a unique category and an applicable generic O & M cost.
