Sept. Factsheet:
GER: The 22 MW / 29 MWh Cremzow asset achieved sustained high pricing. As previously
highlighted, high solar generation causes thermal generators to increase bids in the Frequency
Containment Reserve (FCR) and automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) markets. With
FCR prices set for all participants by the marginal cost of thermal generation, the Company’s
Cremzow asset benefitted from the upside by capturing value from increased market prices
caused by high bids placed by less competitive technologies.
ROI/NI: Revenues were high during the period linked to high wind penetration following a dip in
previous weeks, increasing the System Non-Synchronous Penetration (SNSP). SNSP is an
expression of the level of non-synchronous generation (e.g. solar/wind) and interconnector
imports compared to the system demand and interconnector exports. DS3 prices increased due
to higher SNSP values.
GB: Pre-qualification for T-4 capacity market contracts was completed for select GB assets which
did not already have contracts in place.
ERCOT: Toward the end of September, Snyder, the 9.95 MW / 9.95 MWh project in Texas, saw
higher revenue due to a transmission line outage & low wind penetration over the period. Given
the nodal pricing structure in ERCOT, this led to increased real-time and day ahead prices in the
surrounding area.
