What happens to a capacity resource if the capacity zone changes from Forward Capacity Auction (FCA) to FCA?
Once a capacity zone is defined by an FCA, the capacity obligations remain throughout the commitment period and in every Reconfiguration Auction associated with that commitment period. A new capacity resource becomes an existing capacity resource upon completion of its initial commitment period term (1-5 years). It is also counted as existing capacity in determining the Installed Capacity Requirement (ICR) and Local Sourcing Requirement (LSR) in all subsequent FCAs.
