7 | | -.. FIXME doesn't render in RST! |
| 7 | +.. RST Comment: Comment entries of ".. N/A" render as blank in the final RST, by design. |
| 8 | +.. This entry value is required because m2r2 (https://pypi.org/project/m2r2/) seems to choke and bail on rendering |
| 9 | +.. the entire table when blank comment entries are blank. Make sure to check this doesn't happen when making changes |
| 10 | +.. to this file by running `tox -e docs` and opening `dist/docs/SAM-Economic-Models.html` in your browser! |

| 14 | +| `Max Net Electricity Production` | Generation Profile | `Nameplate capacity` | `Singleowner` | `system_capacity` | .. N/A | |
12 | 15 | | `Net Electricity Production` | AC Degradation | `Annual AC degradation rate` schedule | `Utilityrate5` | `degradation` | Percentage difference of each year's `Net Electricity Production` from `Max Net Electricity Production` is input as SAM as the degradation rate schedule in order to match SAM's generation profile to GEOPHIRES | |

14 | | -| `Total O&M Cost`, `Inflation Rate` | Operating Costs | `Fixed operating cost`, `Escalation rate` set to `Inflation Rate` × -1 | `Singleowner` | `om_fixed`, `om_fixed_escal` | | |

23 | 26 | | `Electricity Escalation Rate Per Year` × 0.745 | Revenue | `PPA price escalation` | `Singleowner` | `ppa_escalation` | Approximates GEOPHIRES escalation rate into escalation percentage (does not exactly match GEOPHIRES amount-based pricing model) | |
24 | | -| `Investment Tax Credit Rate` | Incentives → Investment Tax Credit (ITC) | `Federal` → `Percentage (%)` | `Singleowner` | `itc_fed_percent` | | |
25 | | -| `Other Incentives` + `One-time Grants Etc` | Incentives → Investment Based Incentive (IBI) | `Other` → `Amount ($)` | `Singleowner` | `ibi_oth_amount` | | |
| 27 | +| `Investment Tax Credit Rate` | Incentives → Investment Tax Credit (ITC) | `Federal` → `Percentage (%)` | `Singleowner` | `itc_fed_percent` | .. N/A | |
| 28 | +| `Other Incentives` + `One-time Grants Etc` | Incentives → Investment Based Incentive (IBI) | `Other` → `Amount ($)` | `Singleowner` | `ibi_oth_amount` | .. N/A | |
