- Review forward market price volatility curves and correlation assumptions for stochastic risk modeling.
- Facilitate trading strategy performance benchmarking and establishing risk limits.
- Develop and apply portfolio optimization techniques to drive hedge strategy decisions while balancing the risk-adjusted revenue of Clearway’s renewable assets. Hedging strategies include DART optimization, CRR/FTRs, term hedge, and PPA transactions.
