How to I go about adding a legend  to the following plot?

ggplot() +  geom_line(aes(x=df2010$Price,y=df2010$percentCapacity), colour =
"red") 
+ geom_line(aes(x=df2011$Price,y=df2011$percentCapacity), colour = "green")
+geom_line(aes(x=df2012$Price,y=df2012$percentCapacity), colour = "blue") 
+scale_x_log10()

Map year to an aesthetic and let ggplot do it for you:

df2010$year <- 2010
df2011$year <- 2011
df2012$year <- 2012
dfAll <- rbind(df2010, df2011, df2010)

ggplot(dfAll, aes(x=Price, y=percenCapacity, color=year) +
scale_x_log10()

Best,
Ista

Ask on the ggplot mailing list?

Normally you use melted data (see the reshape2 package) and let the scales feature build the legend for you.
