From Budgeted to Realized: Structuring Hedges that Deliver on Forecast | January 22, 2026

Power markets follow boom-and-bust revenue cycles, and disciplined hedging can unlock additional value for renewable generation and storage. This webinar outlines how asset owners can structure hedges that translate forecasts into realized cash flow while avoiding misalignment between asset capabilities to delivery power and financial instruments. The presentation also examines how well-designed hedges can capture a risk premium that often exceeds what assets realize through merchant exposure alone.

Key Takeaways

Assess how seasonal volatility and scarcity-driven pricing dynamics shape hedge performance
Structure hedge instruments to reduce forecast variance while accounting for market variability and physical deliverability
Evaluate hedge suitability and costs of hedging when forward prices exceed fundamental expectations
