Financial Products and Ancillary Services
Powerex’ financial products help customers hedge their exposure to volatile energy prices. Some examples of a selection of derivative products include:
- Call or Put Options - a volatile spot market or unpredictable weather can make energy trading a challenging business. Calls/Puts give our customers a hedge against future capacity constraints. They can be exercised with a pre-determined fixed strike price, or with an index-based price
- Capacity Trade - different peak load times in various regions allow for capacity exchanges, to meet local demand. Powerex trades capacity on a daily or seasonal basis. We also purchase extra capacity from large industrials
- Energy Exchanges - supply/exchange of energy with terms including daily peak times, seasonal fluctuations and location variances (i.e., exchange MW delivery at different hubs)
Ancillary services such as load following and shaping complete our suite of energy products and services.
