Vesting contracts were implemented on 1 January 2004. The vesting contracts commit the generation companies to sell a specified amount ofelectricity at a specified price and thereby prevent gencos from exercising their market power to drive up prices. The specified price under the vesting contract i.e. vesting price is set at the long run marginal cost (LRMC) of the most efficient technology that accounts for at least 25% of our system demand. At this time the most efficient generation technology is thecombined cycle gas turbine (CCGT).
EMA invites comments and feedback on its draft report for the review of the Weighted Average Cost Of Capital (WACC) Parameters (i.e. excluding theTechnical Parameters) for setting the vesting price for the period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2010 as set out in the Appendix.
