Don ' t point fingers without real proof . Unless the 2 underage girls actually speak out about this , you have only a 2 sided bias view of the situation . Keep an eye out on him , but do not report him or anything . No need to ruin a guys life over his preference of workers . <| sep |> The capacity market can be done in different ways . In the us PJM market , it ' s a 3 year ahead bidding market . In MISO it ' s one year . There are different ways capacity can be done . There is capacity for emergency situations , where you get a premium but if you fail to be available during those 100 or so critical hours a year you take massive financial penalties . There is general capacity where it ' s just an augment on top of the existing power price stack which gives payments based on committed MWd . The idea is it is supposed to help support base load units for their ability to be base load , and certain dispatchable peaking units for the fact that they cannot always make money but they are really needed in emergencies . What ' s happened in the us in many areas is Natgas is so cheap that it not only drives the cost of power way down , but it also gets the first shot at capacity payments . Until enough generation retires , this causes severe price depressions , and it becomes a game of who can hold out the longest . I am by no means an expert on this as I ' m on the generation side , not transmission or marketing .
