| Tiivistelmä: | In a competitive electricity market traditional demand-side management (DSM) options offering customers curtailable service at reduced rates are replaced by voluntary customer responses to electricity spot prices. In this new environment, customers wishing to ensure a fixed electricity price while taking advantage of their flexibility to curtail loads can do so by purchasing a forward electricity contract bundled with a financial option that provides a hedge against price risk and reflects the "real options" available to the customer. This paper describes a particular financial instrument referred to as a "double-call" option and derives the value of that option under the assumption that forward electricity prices behave as a geometric Brownian motion process. |
