Market Chatter: CME Explores Wind Derivatives Covering US, European and Australian Markets

MT Newswires Live06-25 17:54

CME (CME) is planning to introduce wind derivatives linked to markets in the US, Europe and Australia as renewable energy generation expands, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The proposed contracts would cover the Texas power grid, the UK and Germany, and Australia's Victoria state, with a launch potentially occurring in the coming months, according to the report.

The contracts would be settled using independent datasets that model theoretical wind power generation, potentially supplied by Finland-based Vaisala, Bloomberg added.

CME did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
