This paper presents the design and pricing of financial contracts for the supply and procurement of interruptible electricity service. The proposed contracts consist of bundling simple forwards with exotic call options that have two exercise points with different strike prices. Such options allow hedging and valuation of supply curtailment risk while explicitly accounting for the notification lead time before curtailment.
The proposed instruments are priced under the traditional GBM price
process assumption and under the more realistic assumption of a mean reverting
price process with jump diffusion. The latter results employ state of the
art Fourier transforms techniques.
