Key ideas in Natural Gas Power and LNG Logistics
- The operator is buying the guarantee that the plant will turn on during future emergencies.
- Capacity payments help pay back the massive loans used to build the plant.
- This payment ensures the plant stays in business so it is there when demand spikes.
- Fuel costs are usually handled separately through energy sales, not readiness payments.
- Why grid operators pay for idle plants
- The financial purpose of capacity payments for plant owners
- Energy payments fluctuate based on how much power is actually generated.
- Capacity payments are based on the plant's maximum potential output.
- Plants face heavy financial penalties if they aren't ready when they promised to be.
- Distinguishing between energy payments and availability payments
- Failing to perform during a crisis can wipe out months of readiness earnings.
- The consequence of a breakdown during a peak period
- The logic of grid survival priority
- What 'available' means in a legal/financial sense
- Capacity payments provide steady, predictable income regardless of weather.
- Predictable income makes it much easier to get construction loans from banks.
