Hi!
We are developing TIMES model for Nepal at Provincial Level. We developed TIMES model for Province 2 (P2) based on STARTER model, and now we are working on Province 1 (P1) model. There was no problem with new hydropower capacity investment in Province 2 model as the model invest on new powerplant as per the electricity demand. The model for P1 was also built in the same manner with Province 2 model. The energy demand seems to work quite well as per our demand forecast in both province. But the problem was in new power plant capacity requirement in Province 1 as there is no NCAP instead it generated NcapM, the marginal values in each model year.

also, what value does the PEAK parameter actually denote in the model. We gave 0.35 value assuming it is the borderline between base and peak load.

- the supply for powerplant i.e. hydro (only hydro in our model as power plant for new supply) has no limit of resource
- the peak reserve is given 73%
