The capacity market is the ballast of the BESS financial model. This article analyzes E/P ratio (1h/2h/3h/4h) impacts on capacity market eligibility, the triple revenue stack model (¥150M + ¥120M + ¥30M = ¥300M/year), and optimization strategies.
EPRX × BESS Series (Article 40–44)
Building on EPRX revenues (Article 41), the capacity market provides BESS with a stable fixed income source. This article analyzes how E/P ratio affects capacity market eligibility and how to build the triple revenue stacking model.
| E/P Ratio | Capacity Market Eligibility | EPRX Flexibility | Recommended Scenario |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1h (Short-duration) | Ineligible (3h required) | Highest | Pure EPRX arbitrage |
| 2h | Partially eligible | High | EPRX priority, capacity market supplement |
| 3h (Standard) | Fully eligible | Medium | Optimal balance for triple revenue stack |
| 4h (Long-duration) | Fully eligible | Low | Capacity market priority, JEPX arbitrage |
| Revenue Source | Annual Revenue (¥M) | Revenue Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity Market (Fixed) | ¥150M | Stable, predictable, 4-year contract |
| EPRX (GF + LFC) | ¥120M | Market-variable, weekly clearing |
| JEPX Arbitrage | ¥30M | Opportunistic, spread-dependent |
| Total | ¥300M | — |
