Feasibility Study of Commissioning a Power Capacity Market for High-Consuming Customers in Iran energy Stock

Today، a good investment in the electricity industry is one of the important concerns of policy makers and power market authorities; Nowadays power industry suffers from the long-term fluctuations in the investment sector and consequently in the power generation capacity. But one of the necessary measures for preventing instability and volatility of investing in the field of power capacity is to commission a capacity market. This study evaluates feasibility of commissioning a capacity market in Iran''s power market، while introducing capacity market and evaluating the feasibility of investment in the construction of power plant using different technologies. Based on the results of this study، combined cycle technology has the lowest price and the highest price belongs to the solar power plants. Approximately the cost incurred per kilowatt hour of solar power plant is more than twice the cost of combined cycle power plant. The increase in the exchange rate has caused the capacity costs to be almost doubled in both scenarios and this suggests the importance of the exchange rate in the field of capacity costs and also in financing the power generation projects. However، such an increase is different among various technologies.
