Utility markets are seeing substantial changes in load characteristics and energy prices as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The Energy Authority (TEA) is helping community-owned utilities develop risk management strategies that will offset the current volatility in wholesale energy markets.
Market Research & Hedging Strategies for Public Power
A marketing partner of Hometown Connections, Inc., TEA is a recognized leader in providing energy trading and risk management services. Owned by and serving public power exclusively, TEA performs detailed market research—running Stochastic Risk Models and developing various hedging strategies to help mitigate the various revenue risks utilities may face. These revenue risks directly impact utility budgets and the costs passed on to customers.
In addition to working with utilities that are requesting risk management support during the COVID-19 crisis, TEA is providing web-based “TEA Town Hall” seminars and has partnered with the American Public Power Association Academy to explain to utility officials on how COVID-19 is impacting load, generation, and wholesale markets.
Market Price Volatility to Continue
In addition to addressing the short-term effects of COVID-19, TEA is helping utilities prepare for what the future may bring. TEA anticipates substantial market price volatility as this crisis winds down. All aspects of supply and demand are being affected, and TEA is helping utilities prepare for what may come.
