Layered Purchase

Manage Your Risk by Timing Purchases with the Market

At its core, the Layered Purchase Product is an index product that allows you to secure a price for a fixed percentage of your usage when market conditions are favorable. With this product, you are able to lock in a minimum of 25% of your load at a fixed rate. Additional purchases can be made in 25% increments up until you reach 100% of your load in aggregate. If the entire load is secured, the simple average of all locks will be your final fixed price. Any portion that remains unfixed will float on index, effectively making it a hybrid product. The Layered Purchase Product can offer the security and functionality of a fixed price product, or it can act as a hybrid product, should you leave a portion of your contract unlocked.

BEST SUITED FOR COMPANIES THAT:

  • Want to time purchases with the market
  • Can tolerate moderate budget fluctuations if a portion of the load remains unfixed
  • Prefer a load-following product
  • Have a moderate understanding of power market movements
