Market / index swap: the essentials
The market / indexed swap moves your contract from the market price to the indexed price, or the other way round, when a threshold set in advance is reached. The switch applies a written rule: it is not decided day by day.
Who is it for, and for what uses?
It suits experienced energy buyers: managers of large portfolios, industrial users and multi-site companies whose finance team has defined a purchasing policy and risk-management rules.
What it changes for you
You write your purchasing policy in advance, which removes emotion from market decisions. Switches follow your rules, and you receive an explanation of each change.
Our solution
The mechanism rests on three elements:
| Criterion | With Eneffic |
|---|---|
| Thresholds | Price levels that trigger the switch, defined with you |
| Switch | Automatic move from the market price to the indexed price, or back |
| Review | Regular reassessment of thresholds with your team |
Thomas's take, our expert
A swap is there to apply a rule, not to guess the market. We write that rule together, then review it regularly.
