Comment
In Ireland, Italy and Poland, both the existing and new capacity is traded in a single auction. In Italy existing capacity has a separate lower price cap. In Ireland, existing capacity also has a separate lower price cap but only for bidding, and thus existing capacity can be awarded the same auction clearing price as new capacity. In Ireland existing capacity can bid into the auction above the Existing Capacity Price Cap (ECPC) if they are approved by the Regulatory Authorities for a Unit Specific Price Cap (USPC). Existing capacity gets paid the same auction clearing price as new capacity in the unconstrained auction run (pay-as-clear) and can get paid up to their USPC in the constrained auction (pay-as-bid). New capacity can bid up to the Auction Price Cap.
