Ignoring these real “costs” will result in over-projections by models that only use normal cost measures. • Increased utilization and efficiency could be a significant source of new energy, and should be considered as improvements in capacity factors in modeling efforts. • Increased capacity at existing sites through e.g., adding and/or replacing turbines could also be a significant source of new . . .
