This measure was motivated mainly to meet the need for peak capacity during periods of drought, when the capacity of hydro would be reduced by 40-50% and by the perceived failure of the energy-only market to deliver enough capacity. However, to handle a network constraint, there may be a lack of competition to provide these as only a few power plants are typically located in the right place. Regulators should therefore keep in mind that targeted contracting can be subject to lobbying or gaming.
