Brining it here to make sure it is not lost in EMIX issues

This is an important attribute of a power contract in many markets. Firm power typically carries with it reserves. Non firm power requires the receive to provide necessary reserves if it is to be considered a firm source of power.

Other attributes are whether it is a power contract @ 100 % load factor (fixed rate of delivery) or a contract with a specified load factor. There can be other variations.

We need to have a general way of specifying such attributes whether in emix or energy interop.
