t , h : eyeforenergy update for the first update of 2002 , we bring you a case study ( first published in
erivativesreview . com ) of how a hypothetical power distribution company was
able to protect itself against weather - related variable earnings by the use
of weather risk analysis and hedge transactions . this is a very interesting
article which , although based on the concept of weather risk for an energy
company , could be equally relevant to a huge number of industries . scroll
down a little for the link to the full story . . .
also , if you are or are likely to be involved in weather trading or indeed
any form of risk management , you might like to check out what will be going
on at our upcoming conferences , taking place in amsterdam in february . more
details are available further down in this update . . .
and finally , of course , all of us at eyeforenergy wish our readers a very
happy new year and hope that it will be a prosperous and gratifying one for
all of you !

article : weather hedging at the hot air gas company
( based on a true story of weather hedging )
the hot air gas company rises in a warm winter - based on a true story of
weather hedging . . .
the hot air gas company ( hagc ) distributes gas to homes and commercial sites
in canada , just across the border from the us city of frozen falls . in these
northern latitudes , the normally cold winters generate strong sales for the
company . however , the company , because it has weather sensitive revenue , has
a natural " weather bet " . through the warm winters of 1997 - 1998 , 1998 - 1999
and 1999 - 2000 for example , the company struggled against declining sales and
weak revenues , and lost the bet . the winter of 2000 - 2001 was different : it
was so much colder than the long - term average of weather , that the company ' s
revenue was quite good - that is , the company won the bet . . . .
