Hedging Volatility & Gas Shortage in Power Markets

September 12, 2022 11:00 AM

PAST EVENT

The gas shortage and high speculation have induced a price explosion in global power markets since October 2021. Since then, corporate became increasingly exposed to a shrinking availability of fixed price contracts from utilities and/or are facing high electricity prices.

This decreasing availability happened because many utilities and energy traders had to stop their supply activity due to these same extreme price movements. Corporates that are exposed to increasing market prices will simultaneously be exposed to sustainability regulation which links the decarbonization efforts to their access to capital markets.

Webinar date: Monday, September 12, 2022, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (CET)

Participation fee: free

This webinar identifies major drivers of electricity price movements and gives an overview of how corporates can find ways to hedge their business cases against volatile commodity prices. We focus on a portfolio perspective of different contractual solutions which can be bundled together in order to provide an optimal price hedging while simultaneously fostering the decarbonization of the greenhouse gas footprint.

One portfolio element is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) which connects the corporate energy buyer with the operator of the renewable energy asset (the energy seller). With PPAs, corporates have the chance to overcome the lack of fixed-price contracts in the traditional utility sector and can clearly document where they have purchased green electricity.

“I participated in the “PPA Advanced – Managing Price & Volume Risks” webinar. I had some prior knowledge of PPAs in general, but as a result of this webinar, I gained some further in-depth insight and examined specific aspects of this topic moreclosely. The whole topic was comprehensively dealt with and Steffen’s explanations were particularly relevant for my job. Furthermore, Dr. Steffen Hundt has extensive knowledge and a holistic view of energy markets.”

Electricity Price Cap & Power Purchase Agreement

Germany's “Strompreisbremsengesetz” aims to eliminate windfall profits from sharply rising electricity prices. However, this law reduces the incentive for green power suppliers to conclude PPAs.
