19 Oren - October 9, 8 37 Oum and Oren, July 1, 8 37 Risk management is an essential element of cometitive electricity markets. The study and develoment of financial instruments can facilitate structuring and ricing of contracts. Better tools for ricing financial instruments and develoment of hedging strategy will increase the liquidity and efficiency of risk markets and enable relication of contracts through standardized and easily tradable instruments Financial instruments can facilitate market design objectives such as mitigating risk exosure created by functional unbundling, containing market ower, romoting demand resonse and ensuring generation adequacy.
