  1. Wouldn’t it be simpler to require semi scheduled generators to become scheduled generators by having (say) 30 minutes of storage behind their network connection so they can actually comply with their offers to the market? I say 30 minutes because this is probably enough time for a gas turbine or hydro machine (the most likely things needed for a big block of additional energy) to be dispatched to fill the hole when they bid down (or out). Surely just putting the risks and costs of non-performance where they belong. If they want to contract with a third party to provide the service to them great – but no double dipping.
