Details

This is an independent process and impact evaluation of the Capacity Market scheme carried out by Technopolis Ltd on behalf of the department.

The evaluation aims to:

  • determine whether the Capacity Market has historically met its objectives and how it has done it
  • provide evidence on the potential need for future market intervention to ensure the security of supply and how it compares to the current scheme design
  • provide learning about how the individual components of the scheme could be included in any future market interventions

The findings in this report will be used to support the 10-year review of the Capacity Market scheme.
