Understanding the Electricity Industry and the tools available to manage electricity price risk is pivotal to any risk management strategy. 

Mercury Energy has teamed up with Lincoln University to provide an Electricity Price Risk Management module as an extension to Lincoln’s Introductory Treasury Management Programme. The stand alone module is designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge needed to understand the electricity market and manage their company’s risk in this area successfully. 

The programme is ideal for Treasurers, Financial Controllers and anyone who addresses risk in their organisation. Course content includes:

• Electricity as a commodity
• Electricity price drivers
• Managing physical and financial risks
• Electricity swaps and options
• Electricity hedging workshop
• Hedge Fair Value calculations
• Accounting for commodity hedges

The next course will be held in Auckland in March 2008.
