Not a US ancillary catalog pasted on.

Count extra wear
Short cycles have a cost.
What this includes
- Chile capacity payments
- Mexico peak-hour capacity
- Trade-off versus energy revenue
- Extra wear from short cycles
These are payments for being available to the system, not for energy sold in the hour. We only model the markets we actually run: Chile capacity payments, and Mexico capacity on the busiest system hours.
We do not paste a US market catalog onto Chile or Mexico. The trade-off versus energy is explicit: a megawatt held for capacity is a megawatt that did not buy low and sell high. Short reserve cycles show up as extra wear.
What you walk away with
- Chile capacity payments
- Mexico peak-hour capacity
- Trade-off versus energy revenue
- Extra wear from short cycles
