AI summary The document discusses the discrepancy between the installed capacity of the Goose Harbour facility as modeled in the COSS (130.5 MW) and the planned facility capacity (168 MW). It explains that the 130.5 MW figure was used because the second System Impact Study (SIS) for the full 168 MW capacity has not yet been completed and approved.

Q. Is Bates White's assumption that expected output scales with capacity reasonable for the Goose Harbour facility? A. No it is not. Wind production estimates are not calculated in the same manner as other types of power generation. Layout...

AI summary The assumption that expected output scales with capacity at the Goose Harbour facility is deemed unreasonable. Wind power forecasts depend on multiple factors such as wind patterns, turbine layout, and interconnection limitations. The facility's output is constrained during peak wind periods due to the 130.5 MW total farm connection limit, meaning output does not scale linearly with capacity.

Q. Why is the P90 generally utilized in respect of wind power projects? A. The P90 level of wind production is used as a standard for financial calculations. This level is crucial for lenders to ensure that the project can service its debt...

AI summary The P90 level is used in wind power projects to ensure lenders can confidently size loans based on conservative production estimates. The discussion also addresses the use of P50 versus P90 in cost-of-service studies and the need to update models to reflect actual net load from wind facilities.
