For generation/storage resources, if Max_Cap_MW <= 0 then capacity investments are treated as unconstrained, e.g. in investment_discharge.jl we have:

@constraint(EP, cMaxCap[y in intersect(dfGen[dfGen.Max_Cap_MW.>0, :R_ID], 1:G)], eTotalCap[y] <= dfGen[y, :Max_Cap_MW])

Currently, there is no parallel option for inter-zonal transmission capacity investments. They are always constrained as in load_network_data.jl we have the following code:

if setup["NetworkExpansion"]==1
        # Read between zone network reinforcement costs per peak MW of capacity added
        inputs_nw["pC_Line_Reinforcement"] = to_floats(:Line_Reinforcement_Cost_per_MWyr) / scale_factor # convert to million $/GW/yr with objective function in millions
        # Maximum reinforcement allowed in MW
        **#NOTE: values <=0 indicate no expansion possible**
        **inputs_nw["pMax_Line_Reinforcement"] = map(x->max(0, x), to_floats(:Line_Max_Reinforcement_MW)) / scale_factor # convert to GW**
        inputs_nw["pTrans_Max_Possible"] += inputs_nw["pMax_Line_Reinforcement"]
    end

We should modify this so that values for pMax_Line_Reinforcement <=0 instead treats expansion along that line as unconstrained.
