You’re missing my point, or you’re reading GP in a way that I am not. Paying up front for expected energy usage does not place the risk (future price variation)

You’re missing my point, or you’re reading GP in a way that I am not. Paying up front for expected energy usage does not place the risk (future price variation) on the bank. It’s just a lump sum. There’s nothing for the bank to hedge.
- jnsaff2 4y agoI totally just wrote down my thoughts that came into my mind reading the GP. Not arguing with you. Tho I don't see how you could ever "pay up front" for energy for that long of a period without someone doing a futures deal. As a person especially today the energy prices fluctuate wildly. Edit: making a hedge for your energy for the lifetime of the building (or yourself) does not in any way negate the idea of the GP. TCO is still made explicit and the energy part can be compared with other buildings and smarter decisions about insulation will be made which should drive developers into building better.
