Even when its load curve looks flat, a continuous-process plant has flexibility. It doesn’t lie in the core process, but in the decisions around it: maintenance shutdowns, product changeovers, auxiliary equipment, buffer storage. Timed well, these decisions are worth several percent of the electricity bill.

For an industrial site on a block + spot contract, predicting your electricity bill means knowing how much each MWh consumed at a given time will cost, all components included: blocks, spot, grid tariff (TURPE) and capacity.

A 100% hedge fixes the price of an average volume of electricity, not the price of your consumption hour by hour. As soon as your power draw moves away from your block, the difference is bought or sold back at the spot price. The gain from shifting consumption is therefore the same whether you are hedged or not: it equals the MW shifted multiplied by the price gap between the two hours.
