Power Trading
RBS Sempra Commodities is a leader in North American power marketing and trading. We have experienced people with a proven track record and the financial strength to create solutions for our customers.
Our core strengths
-
Price Risk Management
- Full requirements, serving power needs of utilities, local distribution companies, cooperatives, municipals, industrials and retail aggregators. We accomplish this through customized structures that compliment their load requirement and merchant needs.
- Pre-payments to monetize load-following or location flexibilities.
- Power contract restructurings when risk tolerances are near a threshold.
-
Energy and Asset Management
- Optimization of energy assets to extract value and maximize the owner's risk-adjusted return on capital. We understands this task requires a world-class 24/7 trading desk and the knowledge to create value in a volatile market.
- Asset dispatch, deal execution, credit-enhancing intermediation for third party contracts.
-
Hedging Strategies
- As the markets conditions evolve and change, we are able to provide customers with longer-term price certainty through hedging products that result in capital relief.
- Hedging products can include such items as fixed price, index-based pricing, and other options structures.
- Generators may look to lock in returns by contracting capacity in the form of physical or financial tolling contracts. We have the ability to toll a wide variety of unit types across the country for both short and longer-term contracts.
