Limitations

This page lists the limitations of all models in one place. Each model page also lists its own.

Benchmark and geography​

  • Results start from a standard benchmark asset. The design and value of the benchmark asset do not match every real plant. See Benchmark and asset-specific results.
  • A grid cell represents an area, not the exact footprint of a plant.
  • Detailed analysis can still include defaults. See Default assumptions.

Hazards and losses​

  • Solar assets include hail, convective wind, hurricane, wildfire and flood. Wind assets include convective wind and hurricane only. A hazard that is not modeled is not zero risk.
  • Climate VaR does not include the revenue lost after damage.
  • Total Climate VaR adds asset P95 losses. It is not the joint P95 loss of a portfolio, because losses at different sites are not modeled together.

Revenue​

  • Risked Revenue is not a forward price forecast. It combines different historical periods.
  • P75 applies to the generation input only. Risked Revenue is not a revenue percentile.
  • The curtailment adjustment is an estimate from negative-price hours, not a measurement of curtailed energy.

Future climate​

  • Future-climate factors change Hazard Loss only. Climate VaR and PML describe today’s climate.
  • Future-climate views do not estimate revenue effects.

Scores and flags​

  • The InfraRisk Index is not a loss probability.
  • Scores are comparable only with the same risk profile and cohort.
  • A red-flag count of zero does not mean that every issue was checked.
