a
The highest level capacity for the wind and solar farms will be determined by the policy of the ministry of energy on renewable and clean energy development policy, which is following up to 2000 MW in a year by the private sector.
b
During the second decade, the contract fee will calculate based on the capacity factor. For wind farm with capacity factors ≥40% and ≤20% during the first 10 years, the prime fee will multiply in 0.4 and 1, respectively. For capacity factors between 20 and 40%, the prime fee will multiply in a number proportionally.
