| Description: | Fixed cost of running a generating unit when on-line |
Generator Running Cost is an additional cost (over and above fuel and VO&M Charge) incurred for each hour that a unit is on-line. The cost is not incurred if the unit is off-line, thus this is a 'semi-fixed cost'. This cost is reported as part of Generation Cost.
