Electricity Futures
Monthly Electricity Futures are exchange-traded, standardized, and cash-settled contracts that allow market participants to secure pricing for 28/30/31 days of round-the-clock (RTC) electricity delivery — equivalent to 24x7 hrs à well in advance (up to three months ahead).
Key characteristics of the product:
- No physical delivery is required; all contracts are financially settled.
- No transmission scheduling is needed since unconstrained market prices are used for settlement purposes.
- These contracts operate alongside the physical electricity market, providing a complementary financial instrument rather than being part of the physical trading or delivery process.
The product is designed to enable efficient hedging, and risk management, in electricity markets, helping participants manage exposure to price volatility.
