SYSTEMS FOR, AND METHOD OF, INSURING RISKS IN A RESTRUCTURED ENERGY INDUSTRY

摘要

A method for insuring against risks in a restructured energy industry, wherein an unplanned event prevents a power seller from meeting all or part of the power seller's obligations under a power supply contact which gives rise to a need on the part of the seller, or on the part of the power buyer purchasing power from the seller, to purchase power at market price, by issuing an insurance policy (103) pursuant to which an insurer is obligated to indemnify an insured, the seller or buyer of replacement power, if the market price for replacement power exceeds the insurance price, and a computer-implemented system (101) for generating the insurance policy (103).
