An Electricity Hedge allows you to manage your risk associated with purchasing
electricity off the wholesale market.
A Swap Contract, also known as a Contract for Differences, is a type of
electricity hedge that allows you to effectively manage your electricity price
risk.
A Swap essentially delivers a fixed price against a predetermined quantity or
load. This differs from traditional products in that both the price and
quantity are contracted. Though you will always pay the agreed price for the
volume covered by the Swap Contract, the net effect of what you pay depends on
the volume you consume and the actual spot market prices.
