Toward Optimal Capacity Expansion for an Electric Utility

John Rowse

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper illustrates how one mathematical optimization technique -- mixed integer programming -- can be applied to the expansion problem of a specific electric utility -- Saskatchewan Power Corporation -- to examine questions such as the consequences to expansion decisions of varying the discount rate, of making short term generating station commitments, of excluding investment alternatives, of engaging in bulk power export, and of curtailing demand growth deliberately.
