Renewable energy generators that are eligible to produce ERCs (i.e., on - shore wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, or hydro units built on or after January 1, 2013) are eligible to receive allowances from the renewable energy setRenewable energy generators that are eligible to produce ERCs (i.e., on - shore wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, or hydro units built on or after January 1, 2013) are eligible to receive allowances from the renewable energy setrenewable energy set - aside.

The Clean Power Plan reached beyond individual plant upgrades by allowing generators unable to meet its emission standards to offset their power from lower carbon - emitting resources, such as renewables.

I would expect that more renewables would result in higher bids from generators on the spot market when wind and solar are not available.

For a renewable generator, staying online may also cost less than what generators receive from support mechanisms like the Renewable Energy Target scheme, plus their orenewable generator, staying online may also cost less than what generators receive from support mechanisms like the Renewable Energy Target scheme, plus their oRenewable Energy Target scheme, plus their own costs.

Indeed, it would be logical to attribute that large renewables shortfall to the storm, giving an an incremental load resulting from the storm of 1,374 GWh, which is in fact what conventional generators had to supply, as shown in this chart from the NETL study:

However, the biggest threats to the business model of the coal - fired generators are lowering demand — caused by changing consumption patterns — and from increased capacity from renewables such as large scale wind and solar, as McIndoe and ACIL Tasman acknowledge.
