Notes

For calculated contributions, stability is based on contribution to inertia in the 100 lowest-inertia hours, although please note inertia is only one aspect relevant to stability and detailed technical studies are required to capture all components. Ramping is calculated from the contribution to the top 100 hourly ramps. Peak capacity / adequacy is based on the contribution to capacity needs in a single year dispatch model. Energy is the share in annual generation. These measures aim to give an illustration of the diverse aspects of electricity security, but do not encompass all relevant components or potential technology contributions.
