[QUOTE="Fowler VF, post: 6646174, member: 57664"] Limejump tracker for us. Always difficult to compare floating with fixed prices. Very much depends on what is included in the fix. Headline power price isn't the whole story, its all the things like Gduos, bsuos, aahedc, dloss, tloss that also add up. Your fixed price will have an estimate of these all bundled up inside. Not to mention Triads, theyre not as valuable as they once were but they do add up to a nice bonus. I take the view that for someone to pitch you a fixed price for the next 12 months they must refer to the APX platform to some extent and they presumably also build in a safety margin. We like the tracker, day ahead APX pricing as it also gives us the opportunity to manage our on site usage as well, timers on things like cold stores so we export more at peak prices and stand more chance of hitting Triads. The painful bit is if the CHPs go down in a high price period, as we then get charged for making up the shortfall from the spot market. Todays an interesting day, average APX day ahead is £50.51 per mwh and the spot price is currently averaging £60.81, with a peak of over £90. Thats just power, without all the other bits, which can add another 20% or more. Last year was great for us on a rising price, this year not so good, some of the fixed prices got it wrong and over priced. Cheap gas is keeping power prices down! [/QUOTE]
