This document discusses the characteristics of electricity demand and supply, and the implications for electricity prices. Some key points:
- Electricity demand is seasonal, stochastic, and varies throughout the day based on factors like weather and customer type.
- Generation costs depend on fuel prices and heat rates. Supply stacks generators from lowest to highest variable cost to meet demand.
- With supply needing to equal demand instantaneously and limited storage, electricity prices are highly volatile and can spike during periods of high demand or supply constraints.
- Prices vary locally based on transmission congestion, resulting in nodal or zonal pricing structures across markets. Day-ahead and real-time prices may differ.

Modeling and Hedging the Risk in Retail Load ContractsEric Meerdink
Modeling and Hedging the Risk in Retail Load Contracts discusses volumetric or "swing" risk in full requirements load following contracts for electricity. Swing risk is the cash flow risk from deviations in delivered load volumes from expected levels that are positively correlated with market prices. The document outlines how to estimate the expected cost of serving load including an expected "shaping factor" cost, describes delta hedging price risk but remaining exposed to swing risk, and proposes using options to construct a "gamma hedge" to manage swing risk. Regression analysis is used to estimate the relationship between historic load and price in order to model the gamma exposure and design an optimal options hedge.
This document discusses hedging risks in retail electricity, specifically focusing on market price risk, volumetric risk, and shaping risk. It proposes using Cash Flow at Risk (CF@R) and stress testing as appropriate risk measures for a retail electricity portfolio. The document then discusses how to calculate CF@R through Monte Carlo simulation and the need to model spot prices and load with behaviors like mean reversion and jumps. It also discusses stress testing to account for risks not fully captured by the CF@R model, like economic impacts.
Portfolio Management: An Electric Retailer's PerspectiveEric Meerdink
This document summarizes Hess Energy Marketing's perspective on portfolio management for electric retailers. It discusses the types of risks electric suppliers face including market price risk, volumetric risk, shaping risk, and migration risk. It emphasizes the importance of using quantitative risk measures like Gross Margin at Risk (GM@R) and stress testing to evaluate risk. Specific hedging strategies are discussed including using options to hedge volumetric "swing" risk and weather derivatives to hedge the risk of under-collecting fixed costs due to variation in weather.
Supply and Demand Together. Shift of Demand CurveGene Hayward
This document discusses how supply and demand interact in a market when demand increases or decreases. When demand increases, the demand curve shifts to the right, creating a shortage at the original price. The price rises until quantity demanded and supplied are equal again, eliminating the shortage. When demand decreases, the demand curve shifts left, creating a surplus. The price falls until quantity demanded again equals quantity supplied. In both cases, the invisible hand of the market works through price adjustments to clear the market.

Hess Corporation is an integrated energy company involved in exploration, production, refining, marketing and retail sales of energy products. It markets electricity, natural gas and fuel oil to commercial, industrial and utility customers on the East Coast. Hess uses financial hedging to manage risks from changes in energy market prices and customer usage. It seeks portfolio optimization tools to improve hedging strategies, evaluate risks more precisely and provide more competitive pricing. Generation assets can potentially reduce risks and costs when integrated into retail load portfolios. Consistent valuation across departments and businesses is also desired.
This document introduces Value at Risk (VaR) through defining it, describing different VaR methods, and providing examples of VaR calculations. VaR measures the worst expected loss over a given time period at a given confidence level. The document focuses on the parametric VaR method, which assumes returns are normally distributed, and provides examples of calculating VaR for single-asset and multi-asset portfolios using the normal distribution. It also briefly discusses VaR for derivative portfolios using delta approximation.

The document discusses implementing the Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) model for modeling interest rate dynamics using Monte Carlo simulation. It describes:
1) Using principal component analysis to analyze the yield curve and estimate volatility functions for a multi-factor HJM model from historical yield curve data.
2) Calculating the covariance matrix from differenced historical yield curve data and factorizing it to obtain eigenvalues and eigenvectors via numerical methods.
3) Deriving the stochastic differential equation for the risk-neutral forward rate curve under the HJM model using no-arbitrage arguments to obtain drift and volatility terms.

Best practices for project execution and deliveryCLIVE MINCHIN
A select set of project management best practices to keep your project on-track, on-cost and aligned to scope. Many firms have don't have the necessary skills, diligence, methods and oversight of their projects; this leads to slippage, higher costs and longer timeframes. Often firms have a history of projects that simply failed to move the needle. These best practices will help your firm avoid these pitfalls but they require fortitude to apply.

$ $
= HR × + Variable O & M + Emissions + Start Costs
MWH MMBTU
Combined Cycle Example
Price of natural gas = $6.00/mmbtu
Heat rate = 8.0 mmbtu/mwh
VOM = $2.00/MWH
Emissions = $1.50/MWH
Start cost = $1.50/MWH
Variable Cost to Generate = 8.0 x $6.00 + $2 + $1.5 + $1.5= $52.75/MWH
Always produce as long as you can cover your variable costs and make
a contribution to fixed costs.

16. What are the Characteristics of Electricity Prices?
•Electricity cannot be stored (economically)
•Supply must equal demand instantaneously
•Demand is seasonal and stochastic (weather)
•Generation cost is a function of stochastic fuel prices
•Generation is subject to random outages
•What does this imply about electricity prices
•Stochastic
•Mean reverting, because load and weather are mean reverting
•Asymmetric price jumps, positive jumps > negative jumps
•Seasonality, price returns have a seasonal pattern
•Extremely volatile

18. Nodal Prices
• Prices in the markets Hess serves (New England, NY and Mid-Atlantic)
are locational or nodal.
• Each node or pricing point has can have a different price. So for
example in the Mid-Atlantic region (PJM) there are 8,000+ nodes.
• The reason for the differences in prices between nodes is the presence
of “congestion” on the transmission lines.
• If there were no congestion then each node would have the same price,
and that price would be the cost to supply the last megawatt of electricity
(marginal generator).
• Congestion is caused by thermal limits on the transmission lines.
• To alleviate this problem the power pool reduces generation supplying
load on that line and turns on a more expensive generator to serve that
load and that will not cause congestion on that line.
• When this happens prices split in the system causing some locations to
be more expensive than other locations.
18
19. Locational Marginal Price
Locational Marginal Price (LMP)
LMP = Marginal Energy + Marginal Congestion + Marginal Losses
The marginal energy price is the same for all nodes and locations.
The only difference is in marginal congestion and marginal losses.
Each power pool has a hub from which basis to the various
locations is quoted. The hubs are the most liquid locations in
which to trade.
Basis is the difference in price between the location and the hub.
For example, the basis to PSE&G zone in PJM is the difference
between the PSE&G LMP and the West Hub LMP.
LMPs can be NEGATIVE.

21. Day-Ahead vs. Real-Time
• There are two types of prices in the power pools.
•Day-Ahead and Real-time
• The power pools allow generators and load serving entities (LSEs)
to bid their generation and load into the pool the day prior.
• The power pool schedules the load and generation looking for the
least cost solution to meet demand.
• The power pools then produce a schedule for generators and
LSEs that specifies the LMPs by hour and either the load they are
buying or the generation they are supplying the next day. These
costs and revenues are fixed.
• In the real time market weather, load and generation outages can
be different than those forecasted the day prior. For this reason
LSEs may need to purchase more energy or generators my need
to generate more energy. The power pools calculate real-time
prices for this “imbalance” energy
21
24. What is a Full Requirements Load Following Contract?
Full Requirements Load Following: A fixed price agreement to serve all
the electricity load of a customer, and provide all products required to
supply the electric load, for a pre-determined interval of time, without
restrictions on volume. Typically served at a fixed rate per MWH.
Also called Full Plant Requirements Contract.
Typical key products to be supplied:
• Load Following Energy
• Capacity
• Transmission
• Ancillaries
• RECs
24
25. Volumetric or Swing Risk
• Volumetric or swing risk is defined as a cash flow risk caused by
deviations in delivered volumes compared to expected volumes. The
primary cause of these volumetric deviations is weather and economic
conditions.
• Not enough that delivered volumes deviate from expected volumes.
• These deviations in delivered volumes must be positively correlated with
market prices.
• The full requirements load following contract is delta hedged at some
expected volume.
• Under these conditions the resulting expected cash flow position is
negative and non-linear with respect to changes in market prices.
• Swing risk is similar to the gamma position of an option, as it is a second
order price risk.

32. Cash Flow @ Risk (CF@R)
The positive covariance between prices and load gives the cash flow distribution
a negative skew. CF@R is a probabilistic measure of the deviation between
the expected cash flow and a loss that can occur with a certain probability. Cash flow
is a good measure of risk since we have obligations through delivery.

35. Solving for the Estimated Gamma Function
• Select a series of strikes, Ki , and quantities, θi , to create a portfolio of
puts and calls.
• To estimate the gamma function we need to choose the amount of
options for each strike, θ i , so as to minimize the distance between
the estimated gamma function and the true gamma function.
• Estimated gamma function equals:
N M
− Γ( P ) =
ˆ
∑Max( P − K , 0) ×θ + ∑Max( K
i =1
i i
i =1
i − P,0 ) ×θi
• Choose the optimal quantities by minimizing the sum of the squared
errors between the true and estimated gamma function over a set of Q
prices. 2

36. Theoretical Model
•It has been shown that a static hedge of plain vanilla options and
forwards can be used to replicate any European derivative (Carr and
Chou 2002, Carr and Madan 2001).
•Any twice continuously differentiable payoff function, f (S ) , of the
terminal price S can be written as:
F0 ∞
f ( S ) = f ( F0 ) + f ′( F0 )( S − F0 ) + ∫ f ′′( K )( K − S ) dK +
+
∫ f ′′( K )( S − K ) + dK
0 F0
Initial P&L Delta
(Bonds) Position Gamma Hedge: “Swing Risk”
•Our payoff function is the terminal profit. It can be decomposed into a
static position in the day 1 P&L, initially costless forward contracts, and
a continuum of out-of-the-money options. F0 is the initial forward price.
36
37. Theoretical Model, Cont.
• The initial value of the payoff must be the cost of the replicating
portfolio.
F0 ∞
V0 ( F0 ) = f ( F0 ) e − rT
+ ∫ f ′′( K ) P ( K , T ) dK + ∫ f ′′( K ) C ( K , T ) dK
0 F0
• Where P(K,T) and C(K,T) are the initial values of out-of-the-money
puts and calls respectively.
• Interpretation of term within the integral: Second derivative of the
payoff function representing the quantity of options bought or sold.
• The existence of a second derivative implies a gamma or non-linear
contract.

39. Mitigating Swing Risk in Practice
“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice there is” Yogi Berra
39
40. Minimizing Cash Flow at Risk
• In practice we cannot purchase options in such a way as to create the
smooth curves depicted earlier. Instead we need to find discrete strikes
so as to minimize the “swing risk”.
• Swing risk is here defined as Cash Flow at Risk (CF@R). CF@R is the
expected loss assuming that all contracts are taken to delivery. I am
defining CF@R as the difference between the mean of the distribution
and the 5th percentile.
• Since we cannot perfectly hedge the swing risk by purchasing a
continuum of options we need another objective risk minimization
strategy.
• Use as a strategy the minimization of the CF@R or an objective level for
the CF@R. An example would be to reduce the CF@R by 50%.

42. Methodology
• Use Monte Carlo simulation to model the load following contract and all
hedges.
• Model takes into account the relationship between price and load,
volatilities and correlations.
• Run the model to estimate the expected cost to serve the load and
establish the fair price of the contract.
• Layer in delta hedges to estimate the cash flow distribution and estimate
the CF@R.
• Determine the amount of risk to be minimized. This is a management
decision. Cut the CF@R by 50%.
• Determine the portfolio of available options in the market.
• Use an available optimization routine to determine the optimal option
portfolio that meets the required risk criteria.
