Preliminary remarks This document is an introduction to trading in power on the European Energy Exchange, hereafter referred to as EEX. Its aim is to provide information on trading in power on the EEX Derivatives Market to potential trading participants. EEX hereby points out that this document is subject to change. The provisions in the Exchange Rules, the EEX Trading Conditions, the Contract Specifications, the OTC Clearing Conditions, the Examination Regulations and the Clearing Conditions of European Commodity Clearing AG (ECC) shall be applicable. Moreover, EEX reserves the right to amend this document at any time without providing explicit information with regard to this. 44 3. Power Trading on the EEX Derivatives Market Both exchange trading and entering of transactions for OTC clearing are possible on the EEX Derivatives Market Products on the EEX Derivatives Market Unconditional and conditional derivatives transactions On the EEX Derivatives Market unconditional futures contracts and conditional option contracts can be traded. Table 3.1 compares unconditional and conditional derivatives transactions. Unconditional derivatives transactions (futures transaction) Conditional derivatives transactions (option transaction) Obligation to buy or sell a given underlying asset at a price specified today at a given time in the future. Right to buy (buy option, call) or sell (sell option, put) a certain quantity of an underlying asset at a price specified today (exercise price) on the last day of trading (European option) or until the last trading day (American option). Unlimited risk of loss Unlimited potential for gains Neutralisation of risks No payment of premiums Limited risk of loss for the buyer, unlimited risk of loss for the seller Very high potential for gains Risk insurance Payment of premiums Table 3.1: Comparison of conditional and unconditional derivatives transactions Use of the futures and option contracts The sale of futures contracts can be used to hedge against falling power prices (short hedge) and the purchase of futures contracts can be used to hedge against increasing power prices (long hedge). Moreover, option contracts can also be used for hedging. Arbitrage uses the price differences between e.g. futures and options traded on the exchange and similar derivatives contracts traded off the exchange. In this context, the cheaper derivatives contract is bought, while the more expensive derivatives contract is sold at the same time. A future is e.g. sold in the expectation of falling market prices with the intention of generating a profit by means of a subsequent repurchase of the derivatives contract at a lower price. Speculators assume risks and provide liquidity for the trading participants with a contrary view of the market. Speculation can also be engaged in through option contracts. 55 3.2. Power Futures The following financial power futures can be traded on the EEX Derivatives Market: Phelix Base Week Futures Phelix Peak Week Futures Phelix Base Year/Quarter/Month Futures Phelix Peak Year/Quarter/Month Futures Phelix Off-Peak Year/Quarter/Month Futures French Baseload Futures French Peakload Futures French Base Week Futures French Peak Week Futures In the case of futures with financial settlement (cash settlement), the buyer and the seller agree to settle the price difference between the price agreed on and the future market price for a power delivery with a certain future delivery period, certain volume, load profile and place of delivery in cash upon the conclusion of the transaction. Furthermore, power futures are also characterised by the following product property (cf. also Contract Specifications ) Delivery period The delivery period describes the delivery period of the power delivery on which the futures contract is based. Delivery periods which can be traded on EEX are weeks (Week Futures), months (Month Futures), quarters (Quarter Futures) and years (Year Futures) Load profile The load profile describes at which delivery rate (volume of power per hour) the power delivery on which the futures contract is based is effected. Load profiles which can be traded on EEX are base load, peak load and off-peak load. Base load comprises a constant delivery rate on all delivery days from Monday to Sunday and during all 24 delivery hours of a delivery day during the delivery period. Peak load comprises a constant delivery rate on all delivery days from Monday to Friday and during all 12 delivery hours from 08:00am (CET) to 08:00pm (CET) of a delivery day during the delivery period. Off-peak is the difference between base load and peak load. This load profile comprises the delivery days from Monday to Friday from 0:00am (CET) to 08:00am (CET) and from 08:00pm (CET) to 12:00pm (CET) as well as the time from 00:00am (CET) to 12:00pm (CET) from Saturday to Sunday. 66 Place of delivery The place of delivery describes the balancing area within the transmission system of the delivery of power on which the futures contract is based. All admissible balancing zones of the EEX Spot Market (Phelix Futures) and the balancing zone of the French RTE (French Futures) are places of delivery for the futures Contract volume The contract volume describes the quantity of power of a power delivery on which a futures contract is based. The contract volume corresponds to the product of delivery rate x delivery days x delivery hours/day. The delivery rate (power volume per hour) of all futures contracts is 1 MW. This e.g. results in the contract volume for a Baseload Month Future or a Phelix Base Month Future for the delivery month of September of 1 MW x 30 days x 24 h/day = 720 MWh. The contract volume of Phelix Base Futures and Baseload Futures takes account of additional or reduced volumes of 1 MWh caused by the switch from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa Tradeable delivery periods Futures contracts which each have several delivery periods in the future can be traded. At maximum the respective next nine months into the future, the current month with regard to which the delivery of power on which the futures contract is based has already begun, the respective next eleven full quarters into the future and the respective next six full years into the future can be traded. The exact number of tradeable delivery periods is determined by the Management Board. In this context, the Phelix Base/Peak Week Futures constitute an exception. The maximum tradeable delivery period for these comprises the current week as well as the next four weeks Expiry Usually, expiry is reached on the last day of trading with the exception of the week futures. Year futures and quarter futures reach expiry three exchange trading days before the beginning of the delivery period. Month futures reach their expiry on the exchange trading day before the last delivery day. The Week Futures reach expiry on the Monday morning after the end of the delivery week. Settlement under the futures transaction is concluded upon expiry of the future Quotation Prices for a futures contract are specified in EUR per MWh with two digits after the decimal point. This means the smallest price change is EUR 0.01 per MWh. 77 3.3. Example of a futures transaction in Phelix Base Month Futures The following example is intended to illustrate the functional principle of a hedging transaction with the help of a Phelix Base Month Future. A generating company is planning to sell all the power generated by its plant in the month of September 2010 (24 hours, 30 days) on the Spot Market via hourly contracts. It expects an average price of EUR per MWh. Since the Spot Market price cannot be forecast with certainty, it decides to conclude a price hedging transaction on 1 July 2010 by selling 30 contracts of the Phelix Base Month Future for September 2010 at EUR per MWh. The planned revenue from the delivery of power amounts to 30 MW x 24 h/day x 30 days x EUR per MWh = EUR 1,155,600. The generating company sells approx. 30 MW per hour beginning on 31 August 2010 for the first delivery day (1 September 2010) and ending on 29 September 2010 for the last delivery day (30 September 2010) as planned. This means it submits price-independent bids for each one of the delivery days in September with the result that it sells the 30 MW in every hour at the respectively applicable Spot Market price. As a result, it achieves a price exactly corresponding to the average value of the daily Spot Market index, the Phelix Day Base. However, in this example the average has fallen to below the planned value of EUR per MWh. The generating company only earns EUR per MWh on average on the Spot Market and, this result falls short of the expected revenue by EUR 128,952. However, the profits (Variation Margin) from the futures contract totalling EUR 128,952 offset exactly this shortfall in revenue of EUR 128,952. This clearly shows that the planned revenue totalling EUR 1,155,600 was fixed upon the conclusion of the futures transaction. It consists of the revenues on the Spot Market totalling 21,600 MWh x EUR per MWh = EUR 1,026,648 and of the revenues on the Derivatives Market totalling 21,600 MWh x (EUR per MWh EUR per MWh) = EUR 128,952. If we assume an Additional Margin Parameter of EUR 2.00 per MWh, the generating company in our example from 1 July 2010 (opening of position) to 29 September 2010 (expiry) has to deposit an Additional Margin for the position in Phelix Base Month Futures amounting to 30 MW x 24 h/day x 30 days x EUR 2.00 per MWh = EUR 43,200 with its clearing member. On account of an Expiry Month Factor which is bigger than 1, the Additional Margin can be specified at a corresponding higher amount upon the beginning of the delivery. If applicable, the generating company also collects value-added tax totalling EUR 1,026,648 x 19% = EUR 195, upon the sale on the Spot Market in addition. Of course, an increase in the average Spot Market price is also possible, so that, in our example, the generating company would generate higher revenue on the Spot Market. In this case, however, the generating company would incur losses on the Derivatives Market, which would reduce its total revenue to exactly the planned amount of EUR 1,155,600 once again. 88 Exchange trading day Derivatives trading Derivatives and Spot trading Daily settlement price of the Future [ per MWh] Phelix Day Base [ per MWh] Average Phelix Day Base [ per MWh] Variation Margin [ ] (-) Additional contribution (+) Credit Thu, 01/07/ Fri, 27/08/ ,480 Mo, 30/08/ ,320 Tue, 31/08/ ,600 We, 01/09/ ,800 Thu, ,960 02/09/ Fri, 24/09/ ,440 Mo, 27/09/ ,800 Tue, 28/09/ ,480 Final settlement We, 29/09/10 price: , Total: 128,952 Figure 3.1 : Course of payments for a futures seller selling 30 Phelix Base Month Futures contracts for September 2010 Upon opening of the futures position the price of the planned sale on the EEX Spot Market is already established at EUR per MWh in advance. This is done by using the average Spot Market price (average of the daily EPEX Spot Market index, the Phelix Day Base, during the delivery month) as the final settlement price of the future Power Options Basic principle of options on futures On the EEX Derivatives Market the following power options can be traded: Phelix Base Month/Quarter/Year Options. An option on a future is a contract between two parties under which the buyer is e.g. granted the following right in return for the payment of the option price (premium): Right to buy => buy option = call... or to sell => sell option = put... a given futures contract => underlying asset Phelix Base Year Future for 99 ... in a given quantity => number 1 MW the year at a price specified in advance => exercise price EUR at or until a time specified => last trading day 09/12/2010 The seller (writer, grantor) assumes the obligation to sell (buy option, call) or buy (sell option, put) the underlying asset at the specified exercise price (base price, strike price) provided the buyer exercise his right, i.e. exercises the option. In return, he receives the option price paid by the buyer of the option. Depending on whether the option is a European-style or an American-style option, the buyer of the option can exercise his right on every exchange trading day until the last trading day (American option) or only on the last trading day (European option). Buy option (Call) Sell option (Put) Buyer of buy option (call) Seller of a buy option (call) Buyer of a sell option (put) Seller of a sell option (put) has the right to buy the underlying asset at the exercise price agreed on in advance but is not obliged to do so. has the obligation to sell the underlying asset at the exercise price agreed on in advance if the buy option (call) is exercised. has the right to sell the underlying asset at the exercise price agreed on in advance but is not obliged to do so. has the obligation to buy the underlying asset at the exercise price agreed on in advance if the sell option (put) is exercised. Table 3.2 : Long and short positions in options The trading participant holds positions on the option market by buying and selling options. A position can either be long (buyer) or short seller) (tables 3.2 and 3.3). Option positions can be neutralised by means of closing-out. This e.g. means a short position of 25 contracts in buy options (calls) on the Phelix Base Year Future for the year 2011 with an exercise price of EUR 52 can be closed out by buying 25 contracts in buy options (calls) on the Phelix Base Year Future for the 2011 at an exercise price of EUR 52. As a result of this, the obligation under the original short position has ceased to exist. 1010 Exercise of a... Assignment of a... Buy option (call) Sell option (put) Buy option (call) Sell option (put) leads to a long position in futures short position in futures short position in futures long position in futures Table 3.3 : Exercising of options on futures Opening and closing-out As in the case of futures, positions in options can be opened at any time during the trading hours and closed out by means of a matching transaction in the same option contract. For example, a buy positions is closed by a sell position. There are two possibilities of executing these transactions. On the one hand, option contracts can be traded on the exchange market during the trading hours. The execution of an opening and closing-out transaction in this context automatically also includes clearing of this position. On the other hand, over-the-counter transactions in these option contracts and/or in contracts corresponding to the exchange option contracts in terms of their design can be submitted to ECC (clearing house of EEX) for clearing during the trading hours. This is done by using the OTC block trade entry function within the Eurex trading system. Essentially, it corresponds to the EFP trade entry function used for futures. In this process, the buyer enters the details of the transaction into the system and receives a transaction number. He then forwards this number to the seller so that he can confirm the transaction entered. Option transactions arranged in this way by brokers can be forwarded to ECC for clearing. In clearing, there is no differentiation between exchange transactions and over-the-counter transactions with regard to the positions. As a result of this, an option position can, e.g., be opened on the exchange and closed out over the counter Exercising EEX offers European-style options, i.e. exercising of the options is only possible on the last day of trading. In this respect, the option contract to be exercised can be in-the-money, at-the-money or out-of-the-money as regards the price of the underlying asset. Exercising is possible both automatically and manually. However, automatic exercising is currently preset for all trading participants. Automatic exercising On the exercising day EEX establishes an intra-day fixing price for the respective underlying asset at 02:00pm (CET) and publishes it in due time before the expiry date of the option at 03:00pm (CET). During automatic exercising this intraday fixing price of the option constitutes the basis for the determination of the in-the-money amount per contract and account. 1111 The in-the-money amount determined is automatically checked against the ITMMin 1 parameter specified by the trading participant. Should the in-the-money amount determined be higher than the parameter specified, the option is automatically exercised. If it is lower than the parameter, automatic exercising does not take place. Manual exercising Manual exercising of options is also possible. For example, options can be excluded from automatic exercising overall or out-of-the-money options can also be exercised manually. These specifications are exclusively made under the trading participant s responsibility. During manual exercising the trading participants have to initiate exercising within the trading system on the expiry day. During the exercising period, the trading participant must filter for the option contract to be exercised in the Exercise Overview window and specify a corresponding number of contracts for exercising. As a result, the trading participant can exercise the entire position or a part thereof. Exercising is possible on the exercise day during the pre-trading and main trading phase, i.e. between 08:00am (CET) and 03:00pm (CET). On the exercise day the main trading phase is reduced (8:30am (CET) to 03:00pm (CET)). Immediately after 03:00pm (CET), the respectively exercised long positions and the short positions assigned to these are displayed in the Exercise Assignment Overview window upon the switch to the POSTR system phase. In this context, a short position can be assigned in its entirety or only in part. On the following day, the assignment is shown in the trading system in the Exercise Assignment Summary Overview and Assignment Overview windows. On the exercise day, the futures position resulting from the exercised or assigned option position is opened for the trading participant concerned at the exercise price of the option (Table 3.3). The futures positions are booked within the position account in which the option position from which the futures position was established through exercising or assignment was booked. As early as on the exercise day, these futures positions are included in the calculation of the Variation Margin and Additional Margin, while all option positions which have fallen due are no longer considered with regard to the Premium Margin and the Additional Margin. All exercises and assignments are also displayed to the trading participants in the form of reports. A clearing member can view the exercises and assignment for its trading participants at any time Fulfilment After exercising, power options are fulfilled by recording of a corresponding futures position. For example, upon exercising of a buy option (call) on the Phelix base Year Future for the year 2011 a long position in the Phelix Base Year Future for the year 2011 is opened for the buyer of the option and a short position in the Phelix Base Year Future for the year 2011 is opened for the seller of the option at the respective exercise price on the last trading day. Just like the open futures positions, the futures positions opened by exercising or assignment can lead to the physical delivery of power (physical settlement of Phelix Futures). See section for further details. 1 =in-the-money minimum amount 1212 Quotation The prices for the option premium are specified in EUR per MWh with three digits after the decimal point so that the smallest price change is EUR per MWh Tradeable underlying assets Options on the respective next five Phelix Base Month Futures (Phelix Base Month Option), the respective next six Phelix Base Quarter Futures (Phelix Base Quarter Option) and the respective next three Phelix Base Year Futures (Phelix Base Year option) can be traded Expiry Expiry is defined as the time at which the respective option can be traded and exercised for the last time. As a rule, the last trading day of a Phelix Base Year Option is the second Thursday in December and at the expiry of each quarter (short-dated options). The last trading day of a Phelix Base Quarter Option for the first calendar quarter and of Phelix Base Month Options with the delivery month January is regularly the third Thursday in December. The last trading day of all other Phelix Base Quarter Options and Phelix Base Month Options is four exchange trading days before the beginning of the delivery period of the respective underlying asset Option series The entire number of the buy and sell options (call and put options) with the same underlying asset and the same expiry date available for trading is referred to as an option series. At least three series with different exercise prices can be traded for every underlying asset and every maturity with one exercise price being in-the-money, one exercise price being at-the-money and one exercise price being out-of-the-money upon their introduction to trading. Additional option series can be launched. The Management Board specifies the number of exercise prices available for trading and clearing Contract volume The contract volume is defined as the number of futures with regard to which there is an obligation or right to deliver or accept these on the basis of exercising of an option contract. The option contracts refer to exactly one futures contract each Option price The option price (premium, option premium) consists of two components, the intrinsic value and the fair value (option price = intrinsic value + fair value). An option which permits buying or selling of the underlying asset at a more favourable price than on the market at the time of the assessment has an intrinsic value. The intrinsic value can only be positive or zero. An option with an intrinsic value is also referred to as in-the-money. An option 1313 without an intrinsic value is referred to as out-of-the-money. At-the-money means that the exercise price corresponds to the market price of the underlying asset. The fair value comprises the possibility that the buyer s expectations regarding the development of the underlying asset might be fulfilled during the remaining term to maturity. The buyer is ready to pay a certain amount the fair value for this. At the same time, the fair value is the compensation which the seller receives for the risk entered into. The closer an option approaches its last trading day, the smaller its fair value becomes until it finally amounts to zero on the last trading day. The decline in the fair value accelerates with the passage of time (fair value = option price intrinsic value). Regardless of the current supply and demand situation, the option price can be calculated theoretically on the basis of an option price model and various parameters (theoretical option price). The essential factors influencing the fair value and/or the option price are shown below: Volatility of the underlying asset: Volatility reflects the assessment of the price fluctuations of the underlying asset. The higher the volatility is, the higher the option price is. An underlying asset with strongly fluctuating prices forms a higher risk for the seller of the option, which is why said seller requests a higher premium. Since all other factors influencing the fair value of an option (current price of the underlying asset, exercise price, short-term interest rate and remaining term to maturity) are fixed parameters or parameters determined externally, volatility constitute the decisive factor influencing the theoretical option price. Remaining term of an option: The longer the remaining term to maturity is, the higher the risk is for the seller of the option and the higher the premium is. On the other hand, the closer the last day of trading approaches, the lower the fair value and, thus, the option premium will be. Short-term interest rate: Since the theoretical option price is an expected valued discounted by the short-term (riskfree) interest rate, the short-term (risk-free) interest rate is also included in the calculation. However, compared with the other determining factors is has a relatively low significance. In the case of options on futures, the interest rate only has an impact on the discount factor since it is known on the basis of theoretical considerations that futures correspond to shares with a dividend corresponding to the risk-free interest rate. As a result of this, both the premium of a buy option (call) and the premium of a sell option (put) decline with increasing interest rates. Table 3.4 and Table 3.5 summarise these connections. 1414 The price of a buy option (call) is the higher, the higher the price of the underlying asset is. the lower the exercise price is. the longer the remaining term to expiry is. the higher the volatility is. the lower the interest rate is The price of a buy option (call) is the lower, the lower the price of the underlying asset is. the higher the exercise price is. the shorter the remaining term to expiry is. the lower the volatility is. the higher the interest rate is. Table 3.4 : Factors influencing the price of a buy option (call) The price of a sell option (put) is the higher, the lower the price of the underlying asset is. the higher the exercise price is. the longer the remaining term to expiry is. the higher the volatility is. the lower the interest rate is. The price of a sell option (put) is the lower, the higher the price of the underlying asset is. the lower the exercise price is. the shorter the remaining term to expiry is. the lower the volatility is. the higher the interest rate is. Table 3.5 : Factors influencing the price of a sell option (put) 3.5. Definition of the option as against the future Options differ from futures both with regard to the obligations resulting from the contract and with regard to clearing. While the future, as a fixed derivatives transaction, forms an obligation for the holder of the long as well as the holder of the short position, the option only constitutes an obligation for the holder of the short position. The holder of the long position, on the other hand, has the right to exercise the option but is not obliged to do so. This means the only risk for the buyer of the option is that his option is not in the money on the expiry day, which means that he does not exercise the option but lets is expire. As a result, he "loses" the option premium which he has already paid but does not have to make any further payments. However, the seller of the option runs the risk that an option which is in the money is exercised by the buyer of the option on the expiry day and that a futures position is recorded at the less favourable exercise price than the current futures market price for the seller of the option. This risk is covered by the option premium paid to him. This difference also has an impact on clearing. While both the holder of the long position and the holder of the short position are required to furnish a security (Additional Margin) in the case of the 1515 future, a security only has to be furnished by the seller of the option (Premium Margin and Additional Margin) in the case of the option. These are a result of the different obligations which the holders of the positions have towards the clearing house as the central counterparty. In the case of a futures position, the clearing house demands a security covering the maximum closing-out costs to be expected in the event of the most unfavourable price development during the next exchange trading day. Since the futures position is assessed on a mark-to-market basis every day and since, as a result, profits and losses generated are balanced in terms of liquidity, only the price fluctuation during the next exchange trading day is relevant. In the case of an option position, there is only a risk for the clearing house on account of a holder of a short position since the holder of this position is the only one who has entered into an obligation. In the event of a default on the part of the seller of the option, the clearing house would close out his option position. To this end, the premium in line with the market at the time of closingout has to be paid. As a result of this, the highest possible closing-out risk arises for the most unfavourable development of the premium during the next exchange trading day from the premium itself (Premium Margin) and the assumed highest possible change of the premium (Additional Margin). Both margins are recalculated on every exchange trading day, i.e. they are adjusted to the changing premium and requested from the seller of the option Examples of option transactions Power plant operator sells a buy option (call) A power plant operator has a generating plant with a capacity of 25 MW. At EUR 30 per MWh the generating costs of this plant are relatively high. The use of the plant has not been planned yet for next May so that the operator wishes to market the plant on the wholesale market. The operator of the plant takes this decision on 9 February. Since, at EUR per MWh, the Phelix Base Month Future is far below the generating costs at that time and since the operator does not expect any further increase in the power price to above its own generating costs, he decided to sell a buy option (call) on the Phelix Base Month Future for the month of May. He selects his generation costs of EUR 30 per MWh as the exercise price. He receives a premium of EUR per MWh for this, i.e. in total 25 MW x EUR 0.9 per MWh x 24 h/d x 31 d = EUR 16,16 Beispiel Example 1: Besitzer Owner of freier free power Kraftwerksleistung plant capacity Baseload of 25MW 25MW base für load Mai for 2005 May stellt 2010 Call dem Markt zur Verfügung. diese makes Kapazität this capacity am available to über the market einen Short via a - Call short dem call Markt on 09/02/2010. zur Verfügung.

However, the sale is only closed as of a market level of 30. If this price level is not reached, the owner collects the premium of 16,740 without any generation by the power plant. If, however, market prices are higher, he cannot benefit from this. The possible profit from the option is restricted to the premium received; the losses from the option, however, are theoretically unlimited. In this case, however, there is still the power plant s capacity on the other hand. Figure 3.2 shows that for the plant operator this premium corresponds to a profit as long as the futures price does not rise to more than EUR 30 per MWh on the last day of trading. In these cases, the option is not exercised and the operator can generate additional revenues on the Spot Market with the unused plant in May by generating power at Spot Market prices of more than EUR 30 per MWh and selling this power on the Spot Market. If the futures price increases to more than EUR 30 per MWh, the option is exercised and the plant operator receives a sell position in the Phelix Base Month Future for the month of May at an exercise price of EUR 30 per MWh. If he closes out the futures position received in those cases, the profits resulting from the revenue from the option premium would decline as shown in Figure 3.2. As of a futures price of EUR per MWh this would even lead to losses overall. However, it is more cost-efficient for the plant operator not to close out the futures position received but to provide physical fulfilment via his plant. This means he will be able to secure the revenue from the option premium even if futures prices increase to more than EUR 30 per MWh. In addition, he can generate additional revenue on the Spot Market with the plant used in this way in May by stopping the generation of power at prices of less than EUR 30 per MWh. By selling a buy option (call) with the generating costs as the exercise price the plant operator managed to securely generate revenues of EUR 16,740 even if marketing of the plant s output above the generating costs on the futures market was not possible. The sale of a buy option (call) does not prevent the optimisation of the plant on the Spot Market and the generation of additional revenues there. 1717 Industrial enterprise buys a buy option (call) An industrial company with a high consumption of 25 MW base load which does not have its own generating facilities, however, wishes to secure the best possible price for its power procurement at all times. This industrial company has not yet covered its power requirements for the month of May. Internal calculations show that the company has to achieve a power price of less than EUR 31 per MWh at all times in order to be able to produce efficiently. At EUR 25 per MWh the futures price for the Phelix Base Month Future is clearly below this specification. However, the company s analysts assume that the futures price will fall by at least EUR 1 per MWh, but the company s risk directive does not permit keeping the power procurement for May unresolved and requires the position to be closed now. In this context, options might be a solution. By buying a buy option (call) the company secures a maximum purchase price which corresponds to the exercise price of the option plus the option premium paid for itself. In this case, the industrial company decides to buy a buy option (call) on the Phelix Base Month Future for the month of May with an exercise price of EUR 30 per MWh in return for the payment of a premium of EUR per MWh. In total, the company pays a premium of 25 MW x EUR 0.9 per MWh x 24 h/d x 31 d = EUR 16,740. If the futures price on the expiry day is above the exercise price of EUR 30 per MWh, the company in its capacity as the buyer of the option will exercise the option and, thus, be assigned a buy position in Phelix Base Month Futures for the month of May at the more favourable exercise price. Since the company needs the power, it will physically fulfil the futures position on the Spot Market in May. Overall, the power price is established on the basis of the price of EUR 30 per MWh for the physically settled future and, in addition, EUR 0.90 per MWh for the option premium paid. Moreover, in the case of increasing futures prices which is actually not expected to materialise the company will also pay EUR per MWh, which is not more than the commercially acceptable price of EUR 31 per MWh. If, however, the market prices of the futures are below the exercise price on the expiry day, exercising is not profitable. The company will then secure its power requirements through a futures position at the respective market price instead. If the power price decreases by more than EUR 1 per MWh, as expected, i.e. if it falls to at least EUR per MWh, the company pays EUR per MWh for its power procurement in May under consideration of the option premium. Figure 3.3 illustrates this example. This example shows that risks can be controlled targetedly with the help of options without foregoing opportunities as in the case of futures. 1818 Figure: 3.3 An industrial company buys a buy option 1919 4. Clearing 4.1. Clearing structure ECC accedes to all transactions as the central contractual partner (central counterparty) and, hence, assumes the counterparty risk. The clearing structure consists of the central counterparty ECC and several banks, the clearing members. In the context of this structure the trading participants settle their transactions with a clearing member of their choice, while the clearing members in turn settle these transactions with ECC. The trading participants have to deposit securities with their clearing member for liabilities entered into under transactions and the clearing members, in turn, have to deposit these with ECC. This structure safeguards the fulfilment of all transactions Settlement Daily profit and loss settlement (Variation Margin) On every day, EEX specifies a settlement price in line with the current market price of a given futures contract, which is specified by ECC, for every futures contract. The change in the value of the futures position which results from the change in the settlement price between the last and the current exchange trading day is credited to the trading participant in cash or debited in cash (Variation Margin). In this context, the value of a futures position is calculated as the product of contracts x contract volume x settlement price Settlement of year futures and quarter futures Year futures and quarter futures are fulfilled by cascading. Cascading means that futures contracts with longer delivery periods are replaced by equivalent futures contracts with shorter delivery periods on the last day of trading. Three exchange trading days before the beginning of the delivery period every position in year futures is replaced by equivalent positions in month futures for January, February and March and quarter futures for the second, third and fourth quarter, whose delivery periods taken together correspond to the year. Three exchange trading days before the beginning of the delivery period every position in quarter futures is replaced by equivalent positions in month futures, whose delivery periods taken together correspond to the quarter. Every cascading is effected by closing the position in Year Futures or Quarters to be cascaded and simultaneously opening several equivalent positions in futures with shorter delivery periods. In this case, the positions are closed at the final settlement price of the year future or quarter future and 2020 the equivalent new positions in futures with a shorter delivery period are opened at the final settlement price. As a result of this, Variation Margins are incurred for the closed position and, additionally, for all newly opened positions on the day of cascading Settlement of financial week and month futures French Week Futures, French Month Futures, Phelix Week Futures and Phelix Month Futures are settled by means of cash settlement. There is no physical delivery during the delivery period but the seller and the buyer of the future only receive payments of money or have to effect such (Variation Margin) throughout the entire period until the end of the delivery period or until the position is closed. The amount of the payments is established on the basis of the difference between two consecutive settlement prices multiplied by the contract volume and the number of contracts. On the last day of trading, the last payment is established on the basis of the difference between the final settlement price and the settlement price for the preceding exchange trading day multiplied by the number of contracts and the contract volume. This last payment is also a Variation Margin. Afterwards, the week futures and month futures are considered fulfilled. The settlement price for the Week Futures and Month Futures on the last trading day is referred to as the final settlement price. Basically, the final settlement price is different from all previous daily settlement prices since it is established on the basis of the average of all daily EPEX Spot Market indices for the French auction or of the Phelix Day Base and Phelix Day Peak for the delivery days of the corresponding delivery month or of the corresponding delivery week. Phelix stands for Physical Electricity Index. The Phelix Day Base is the simple average of the prices of all 24 individual hours of the auction for Germany/Austria on the EPEX Spot. The Phelix Day Peak is the simple average of the prices for the hours 9 to 20 (8:00am CET to 8:00pm CET) in the auction for Germany/Austria on EPEX Spot. The daily average values regarding the auction for France are established in line with this. As a result, the final settlement price is the price at which the procurement of power could be achieved on EPEX Spot for a given month and a given load profile. The trading participant has the possibility of combining the financial fulfilment of its positions in French Week Futures, French Month Futures, Phelix Week Futures and/or Phelix Month Futures with a physical delivery or partial delivery of the quantity of power established contractually during the delivery period on EPEX Spot. In this case, the trading participant commissions the EPEX Spot Market Supervision to submit a bid corresponding to the futures position on EPEX Spot. Therefore, the trading participant is responsible for the content of the order. The trading participants admission to the Spot Market (EPEX Spot) and to the Derivatives Market (EEX) as well as the establishment of one or several trading accounts for hourly contracts on EPEX Spot, which are used specifically for physical fulfilment, constitute the precondition for this. This enables the trading participant to divide its trading activities in terms of portfolio optimisation and the fulfilment of its futures positions. The trading participant commissions the EPEX Spot Market Supervision (with xml-file) to execute this at the latest by 4:00 pm (CET) two exchange trading days before the beginning of the delivery period in the case of month futures and by at the latest 12:00 noon (CET) on Friday in the case of 21 View more
