Hedges and general shrubbery4 Jan 2023 10:12
For the less educated among us (i.e. me) regarding hedging I understand that its basically fixes the price that we sell or gas at, so as it happens we have missed out due to the increase in gas prices but I am unsure how they work when a producer fails to produce the required commodity. Does the producer have pay the difference at the hedge price? or does the producer have to pay to cover the difference at the market rate? Are there insurances that can be put in place to mitigate such risks?
