It is not included.
In my part of the world the authorities can demand a clean up bond as part of giving permission to build the project. That is done to ensure that you can’t skimp on your responsibilities.
Then I just see misinformation on the Iberian blackout. Please go ahead and tell me how thermal planes not delivering the expected reactive power was caused by renewables.
Please tell me how renewables can’t deliver reactive power when the US and all other sane grids have required them to do it for close to a decade.
And with that we’re solving high 90s% of the grid. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough when we still need to solve agriculture, construction, aviation, maritime shipping, industry and so on.
All ignoring that storage on larger scales already exists.
Wow, there's literally not a single accurate sentence in your comment. Not a single one!
I'm stopping here since you don't seem to be interested in facts at all.
That's his usual MO.
Read the report and tell me that the cause is renewables and not reactive power through a Swiss cheese model of mismanagement.

And then you deny the local law in my jurisdiction, because you can’t accept the outcome.
Then you say that this FERC requirement for renewables managing reactive power from 2016 does not exist.

Then you say that storage does not exist on any relevant scale. While this is reality.

Why are you so afraid of renewables and storage? Why can’t you stay with the truth?
