The optional Capacity Revenue Multiplier column adjusts the capacity revenue for individual resources. The value is multiplied by the capacity price for the resource’s zone each hour to determine the capacity revenue for the resource. If the column does not exist in the table or the value is NULL/blank, the setting will default to 1.

This value will not affect the actual capacity price calculation except that resources with a value of 0 will not be allowed to set the capacity price; however, resources with a value of 0 will still contribute to the reserve margin.

One example where this column might be used is when renewable resources are not eligible to receive capacity payments because they receive revenue from renewable energy credits. However, these resources still contribute to the reserve margin. In that case, this value should be set to 0 for those resources.
