The turbine market is a worldwide market. Firms will have difficulty committing their own capital (and borrowing from others) if they propose to put facilities in jurisdisctions where rates are capped or pricing is based on something other than the operation of the market. Several generators, including Dynegy and Calpine, have said they will look for other homes for the turbines they have ordered.
