Market framework
• Growth of free prices until 2009• Free long-term contracts are not
in demand yet
• New challenges for the market participants:• High price volatility• Forecast the load• Define target sales structure
between the spot and forward market
• Find balance between the profit and the volume
• Legal uncertainty in view of the recent damage at the S-Sh. HPP
= Liberalized market = Regulated market
Demand growth/ new capacities

The Russian wholesale power market is now divided into 5 segments, another 3 segment are being developed

While the absence of free forward prices, power generation and consumption on the Russian power market is balanced by the SO
Russia
• Regulated by the government System operator (SO) forecasts the future consumption and defines the future power capacity structure. Then during the competitive choice SO defines the load of the power units
• Equilibrium between the production and wholesale consumption is settled for each hour on the spot market basing on the cost competition
• Hourly spot price is the same for all market participants in one region
• No price signals for power capacities are provided, because capacities are paid though the capacity market
(thus, the upper spot price limit exists)
Europe
• Production and consumption are balanced by the price signals (forward prices)
• Equilibrium between the production and wholesale consumption is settled by the power generation cost and capacity cost within the multilateral trading system (forward trading) and the final balancing on the spot (day ahead) market
• Hourly spot price is different for the market participants and depends on the purchasing portfolio (along the time periods)
• Electricity prices give the signals about the need on new capacities

Price risk was not considered by the Russian companies in the tariff economy – now have to they learn to evaluate and manage it
Market liberalization challenges
• Increased competition in generation and retailing: Dramatic margin reduction with direct impact on P&L-result
• Increased wholesale price volatility: Temporary price movements may lead to enormous cashflows (in and out) and hence bankruptcy
Need for risk and capital management
• Better understand/manage and price risk exposure
• Manage capital base to meet shareholder's ROE expectations and avoid bankruptcy
Shareholder expectation
• P&L-squeeze leads to stock market underperformance
• Increased risk and hence downgrading increases return expectations further
• Underperformers will become takeover candidates

• Variates and their propabilities• Different indicators, e.g.:
– Mean– Threshold– Maximum value
• Financial result of the company's is liked to the risk to be taken in order to achieve this result
• VaR is used as this risk indicator
Assessment – best practice2
11Conference_presentation_15_09_2009.pptx
Because of the high price volatility and shortage of the historical data, _@R indicators on the Russian power market shell be calculated using parametric approaches which best suit the price dynamic
Russian spot price dynamic: equilibrium price index, Europe zone [RUB] Possible instruments for the VaR calculation
• Historical simulation approach
• Monte Carlo simulation
• Parametric approaches, e.g.• Autoregressive model of returns with constant
variance (AR-ConVar)• Autoregressive model of returns with errors
following EGARCH process with Normal or t-distribution of quantiles (
• AR-EGARCH approach using Extreme value theory by dividing residuals on "extreme" and "normal" and modeling them separately

Characte-ristics
• Procure supply and dispose of product at market prices to meet asset requirements
• Extend beyond asset requirements to capture favorable market opportunities
• Use assets to conduct physical trades for profit
• Close arbitrages
• Execute back-to-back deals
• No net trade positions held
• Capture bid-ask spread
• Develop and sell complex risk management products
• Take long- or short-term positions with no offsets

ASSET OPTIMIZATION
• Asset optimization involves trading to fulfill basic operational needs and contractual obligations of an organization. Asset optimizers purchase and sell commodities at levels supportive of their assets and do not look to profit from purchases or sales in excess of system needs
• Reduce supply costs such as transportation, inventory carry costs, and back-office transaction costs
• Protect asset-operation margins by capturing/ diverting distress cargoes
• Maximizes day-to-day margins by optimizing asset economics• Manages niche market supply and demand to protect asset margins

16Conference_presentation_15_09_2009.pptx
SYSTEM TRADING
• Trade commodity beyond system needs to “shield his position” and protect his margins
• Leverages asset position, unique knowledge, and risk management expertise to create additional value
• Anticipates price changes and purchase/sell quantities to capitalize on them
• Hedges against positions taken to optimize assets
• System trading uses operational needs of a system as the basis for trading decisions, but extends beyond asset optimization to purchase and sell in excess of system needs to capitalize on favorable market prices. A system trader might purchase excess quantity with intent to store and resell at a later date for profit or to conceal his asset positions

ARBITRAGE
• Profit from superior knowledge of market dynamics and information without taking on significant additional risk
• Arbitrageurs attempt to profit from price differentials in different markets for same or related commodities. They manage risk by simultaneously buying in one market and selling in another

18Conference_presentation_15_09_2009.pptx
MARKET MAKING
• Provide liquidity by offering to provide a price and buy and/or sell at all times
• Construct and sell risk management products of physical and paper positions
• Creating a market outside of major commodity exchanges
• Managing a book and the inherent risks
• Market makers quote “buy’’ (ask) and “sell’’ (bid) prices for a given commodity. Their purpose is to keep a balanced position by holding a book with matching long and short positions. They make money by capturing the buy/sell differential (i.e., the bid/ask spread)

19Conference_presentation_15_09_2009.pptx
SPECULATION
• Profit from anticipated but uncertain changes in prices by leveraging proprietary information
• Provide liquidity to the marketplace• Speed up arbitrage and price discovery
• Take on outright long or short positions in commodities in which he/she has superior information
• Speculators take outright (i.e., fully exposed) long or short positions in physical/financial markets with the objective of achieving profits through the successful anticipation of future price movements. Speculators leverage proprietary information and take on risks with the objective of capturing profits
