What happens if a new capacity resource never participates in the FCM Qualification Process? Can it ever receive revenue for its capacity upon its commercial operation?
A new capacity resource that decides not to participate in the FCM qualification and auction process, and proceeds to build or install its new capacity resource anyway, may participate in an FCA following its commercial date as a new resource by submitting a Show of Interest application along with the other qualification requirements for New Capacity and would be subject to an overlapping impact review. The amount of capacity clearing in the FCA from this resource would be treated as existing capacity in subsequent FCAs. This resource will not receive revenue for its capacity during the period between its commercial operation date and the FCA Commitment Period for which it received an obligation, assuming its commercial operation date is outside of the FCM Transition Period (unless the resource qualifies for and clears in a reconfiguration auction or acquires an obligation thru a Bi-lateral Contract).
