Hey all,

I am working with the wholesale dataset "Generation output by plant". Right now I am trying to calculate a capacity factor for the geothermal generation. For that I am also using the data provided by the MBIE on the amount of capacity installed. For different years this gives me a capacity factor of about 82%. However, it should be more like 90-95%, shouldn't it?

Is the discrepency coming from curtailed geothermal production or what am I missing? Could someone point me in the right direction or explain the dataset to me?

Cheers,
David
