Feed-in-tariffs (FITs) are widely used as policy instruments to promote investments in renewable energy sources (RES). While FITs are often regarded the most effective RES support scheme, regulators around the world continuously review their FIT schemes in the light of budget constraints and...

We assess the effect of capacity payments on investments in gas-fired power plants in the presence of different degrees of renewable energy technology (RET) penetration. Low variable cost renewables increasingly make investments in gas-fired generation unprofitable. At the same time, growing...

We present a multi-feature stochastic dynamic capacity investment model that includes realistic investor behavior. The long-term investment model includes features, such as strategic bidding of generators, price elasticity of demand, and ramping constraints. It incorporates an iterative...
