Others specify that a given energy commodity will come from a specific source, for example a certain amount of electricity will stem form a specific intermittent renewable source or nuclear. These targets types are implemented in the model as lower bounds on generation. -Macro-economic targets ----------------------- +.. TODO complete the following.
