Definition and relevance of affordability in relations to gas; countries fall into 2 categories of affordability:

  • An absolutely price level, such as $5/MMBtu, above which customers in a country cannot afford to purchase the fuel either because of their income level, or because the end-user price level of the final product (especially electricity) for which gas is being purchased would be too high.
  • A competitive price level, above which customers in a country will purchase (or switch to) a competing fuel (such as coal or renewables), or will invest in demand-side measures to avoid purchasing the fuel

In practice, anywhere there is a competitive fuel these two definitions may overlap.

These are renewable energy power generators that don’t have to submit their generation program to the system operator. In Israel these include, solar, wind and biogas facilities.

The power generator facilities that are included under the must-run criteria, do not submit their generation program to the system operator / dispatcher. The system manager prepares the expected generation program of these power generators based on weather forecasts and past experience.
