Comment
The annual surplus is estimated as the sum of inframarginal rents per MW in the day-ahead market. The analysis is based on a set of standardized technical and economic assumptions that reflect average market conditions in 2024 and publicly available benchmarks. The following input parameters have been applied: Natural gas price: 34 €/MWh; ​CO2 price: 64 €/t; Gas-fired power plant (PPT) efficiency: 55%; Emission factor: 0.20 t CO2/MWh; ​Variable Operation and Maintenance (VOM) costs: 2.5€/MWh; Strike price in the Italian Capacity Market (CM): 231 €/MWh, corresponding to the estimated annual average in 2024. Several sensitivity analyses on key assumptions, including varying power plant efficiency, alter net income magnitudes but the impact on the bidding zone rankings is limited. In Italy, the clawed-back revenues under the strike price mechanism has been taken out of the annual surplus. For 2024 it corresponded to 0.2% of the annual surplus.
