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.
