3 months ago Anything we can do to simplify the electricity sector code would help with maintainability / understandability (as well as runtime). So I'm a big fan of any suggestions in that vein. :-)
Brendan suggested we simplify the capacity expansion mechanism for dispatchable resource to just pick the resource with the lowest capacity price needed and build as much of that as is necessary to meet reliability needs. This would significantly reduce code complexity and improve runtime. We should consider making this change in the next model update.
