Message 80
| Severity: | Serious (value = 2) |
| Default Action: | Error (value = 0) |
| Description: | Generator <name> does not define enough bands of Generator Offer Quantity for cumulative format (at least two required). |
| Detail: |
Message 80 occurs in the following circumstances:
- Generator Offer Quantity Format is set to "Cumulative".
- You define Offer Quantity and Offer Price but the number of quantity bands is less than price bands plus one.
In cumulative format, the quantities are points along the axis of Generation. For the offer to correctly define each band there must be a lower and upper value hence to define N quantity bands you must define N + 1
Example
The following input correctly defines a five-band cumulative energy offer:

| Offer Quantity | 60 | MW | 2 |
| Offer Quantity | 70 | MW | 3 |
| Offer Quantity | 80 | MW | 4 |
| Offer Quantity | 90 | MW | 5 |
| Offer Quantity | 100 | MW | 6 |
| Offer Price | -1000 | $/MWh | 1 |
| Offer Price | 28.5 | $/MWh | 2 |
| Offer Price | 30 | $/MWh | 3 |
| Offer Price | 55 | $/MWh | 4 |
| Offer Price | 999 | $/MWh | 5 |
