. . .  each year and the sum of all of their purchased and owned capacity is counted toward this requirement. Firm capacity generators, such as a natural gas power plant, have accredited capacities near their nameplate capacity. Renewable energy technologies, being variable in their output, have a specific MAPP protocol that involves calculating the median value of the generating technology’s performance over a historical 4-hour peak electrical demand “window” by month for a particular electric utility over a ten year period. For example, Xcel Energy’s historical peak demand window in August is from 3 pm to 6 pm. During the MAPP accredited 4-hour window from June to September, the three sites studied ranged from a low of 8% for MTK during August to . . .
