CCC
Risk coverage of the differential between zonal price and PUN (National Single Price).
Product Features
The CCC (transport capacity fee hedge) allows coverage of the volatility risk of the CCT (transport capacity usage fee) on national transits through the payment of a fixed price in exchange for the return of the value of the CCT. The CCC is equivalent to a swap whose parameter is the differential between a zonal price and PUN: this means that it allows a great flexibility since it can be chosen among all the Italian market areas and PUN (North-PUN; South-PUN) ; C-South-PUN, etc.).
Illiquid product
It allows the hedging of risk components not present on OTC markets and difficult to cover.
Clarity and simplicity
The CCC is equivalent to a standard energy swap on differentials between zonal price and PUN.
Opportunities
Possibility to diversify the risk by increasing the margin opportunities.
