  • “The comprehensive nature of the research conducted by LAI in Target 1 invites a qualitative summary of the gas-electric interface capability by PPA. In the narrow context of bulk power reliability objectives and resource adequacy from the standpoint of gas-fired generators, LAI has defined a number of evaluation criteria that encompasses gas supply diversity, access to pipeline and storage infrastructure, character of service, pipeline and LDC tariff provisions, penalty structure, and the liquidity level in the secondary market."
  • "Table 3 summarizes this assessment in a color-coded matrix. The color coding is relational, based on the gas-electric interface attributes observed in the six PPAs. Green represents favorable gas-electric interface conditions relative to the other PPAs, that is, the absence of pressing concerns regarding the operational and commercial infrastructure available to generation companies. Yellow represents neutral conditions, that is, conditions not clearly favorable or unfavorable to generation companies. Red represents comparatively unfavorable conditions.”
