We develop a theoretical model of long-run investment decisions on capacity in the context of a liberalized electricity … the level of capacity that maximizes social welfare, and compare it to a decentralized outcome. We show that in the … absence of any regulation, private investment decisions on capacity unambiguously lead to a socially sub-optimal outcome, and …

which solar resource availability in two Canadian locations is associated with peak electricity market demand and peak … relationship among solar electricity potential, system-wide demand and market prices. With electricity industries being …To determine whether solar electricity (that is, electricity generated by photovoltaics) is, on an average, more …

Although the average availability of the considered wind farm exceeds 96%, the individual … availability of some turbines does not exceed 92%. In this context, the present paper introduces a novel approach of understanding …
