CLEAN ENERGY AUCTIONS
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As the future of energy changes, the way in which companies deal with the costs of producing it will change as well. Clean-energy auctions, the sale of offsets or renewable energy credits, is one way to move our energy industry forward, by rewarding companies who produce power in a clean way, and allowing them to treat this as an asset with value that can be traded. Companies that wish to buy/sell carbon offsets or renewable credits have one main issue though - due to the lack of liquidity in the market, values are tough to determine. Rather than using a broker (and paying their exhorbitant fees) more and more companies are turning to auctions and software companies like Optimal Auctions to run their clean-energy auctions.
TYPICAL AUCTION FORMATS
A Clean-Energy auction is so incredibly simple once you see it in action, you'll question why every country and every state aren't using it already. Bidders use our Tranche Auction software to bid on the number of offsets they'd like to purchase at the going price. Each round, the price of a single offset goes up (in ascending price) or down (in descending price), and bidders withdraw volume as the price changes. At a certain point in the auction, when the offsets have reached a certain price level, the demand for offsets equals the supply, and the auction ends. The auction is incredibly efficient, with most ending in a few hours and the cost usually being 75% less than a broker.
