AI summary Synapse Energy Economics collaborated with NSPI to model thermal generation optimization using Plexos, incorporating updated fuel costs, sustaining capital estimates, and renewable energy sources (wind, solar, battery storage). The analysis included reserve margin requirements aligned with NPCC reliability criteria and scenarios for new capacity additions.
