1) No PPAs? Hiyo ni shida!
2) What are "Capacity Plants"?
No PPA means they haven't agreed the Bulk tariffs , KPLC is not willing to give them higher tariff, there is ongoing negotiation , Though ground breaking was last year.
Capacity plants are plants which have capacity payments, (Fixed Capacity Charge Rate ,FCCR and Fixed O&M Charge Rates FOMCR) plus a small component (Variable O&M Charge Rate VOMCR)... Capacity Payment Plants receive FCCR and FOMCR even if the plant is not running (Though the plant has to be in operable conditions when required)...VOMCR is dependant on energy you buy from the plant. Both FOMCR and VOMCR are escalated with inflation.
