Last three years Capability Factor over 2008-2010. The indicator
shows the ratio of the available energy generation over a given
time period to the reference energy generation over the same
time period, expressed as a percentage. Both of these energy
generation terms are determined relative to reference ambient
conditions. The reference energy generation is the energy that
could be produced if the unit were operated continuously at full
power under reference ambient conditions. The available energy
generation is the energy that could have been produced under
reference ambient conditions considering only limitations within
control of plant management, i.e. plant equipment and personnel
performance, and work control. EEA standard re-use policy:
