Abstract
This chapter considers a profit-oriented private investor interested in building stochastic electricity-production facilities, such as solar and wind power plants. This investor sells its production in a competitive pool-based electricity market and faces uncertainties related to demand growth, its production level, and its investment cost. Adopting a multistage approach, a stochastic complementarity model is formulated to determine the optimal capacity to be built by the investor to maximize its expected profit while minimizing its profit volatility. An example considering a wind power investor is presented to illustrate the working of the proposed model.
