Hedging emerges as potential solution for wind energy resource risk (WK-intern) - By 2030 only 6% of Europe’s wind energy capacity will be unexposed to market risks through support schemes, down from 75% today. This means that the transition to auctions allocating renewable energy support comes with more exposure to price risk. One new way to address uncertainty on project revenues is hedging against volume risk. This is according to ‘The value of hedging,’ a new report published today by WindEurope and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions. Hedging is emerging as an instrument to cover the resource risk of variable wind generation, or ‘volume risk’.
