All transactions on Nodal Exchange are cleared through its clearing house, Nodal Clear. Nodal Exchange's core offering is locational (nodal) power futures and options. There are thousands of distinct locations (nodes) in the North American organized wholesale electric markets. Nodal Exchange builds on the success of the existing Regional Transmission Organization / Independent System Operator (RTO / ISO) Day Ahead and Real Time markets by allowing its participants to trade cash-settled, fully standardized futures and options contracts in a cleared market, enabling market participants to effectively manage price, basis, and credit risk. Nodal Exchange offers contracts for on-peak and off-peak power at commercially significant hubs, zones, and nodes in the following electric markets: ISO-NE, NYISO, PJM, MISO, ERCOT, SPP and CAISO, as well as Mid-C. Futures contracts are for monthly and daily terms for both peak and off-peak at significant hubs and zones. Monthly contracts for select locations are available for some solar specific time periods as well as more granular off-peak periods (e.g., 7×8 and 2×16). Hourly contracts are available across 7 locations for PJM and ERCOT hubs. For each location, there are 24 contracts available representing a single hour of the day, with the next 5 days of expiries available for trading. Contracts are available for settlement to Locational Marginal Price (LMP), Energy + Congestion, or Energy only prices as published by the RTOs/ISOs, creating flexibility for participants to hedge positions for LMP and its components of Energy, Congestion, and Loss as appropriate. Monthly Options on the corresponding futures contracts are available for eight locations in ISO-NE, NYISO, PJM, MISO, and other markets. Beyond power, Nodal Exchange offers natural gas and environmental products.
