Options

Options
  Options are potential decisions over which a utility has a reasonable degree of control. One option might be to build a new coal-fired power plant; another option might be to refurbish an old power plant. Each option has one of more values to be specified. A specified option has a specified value such as year of implementation or size of plant. A plan is a set of specified options. A plan contains a set of decisions or commitments the utility can make, given the options available.

  An option is a contractual agreement that gives the holder the right to buy (call option) or sell (put option) a fixed quantity of a security or commodity (for example, a commodity or commodity futures contract), at a fixed price, within a specified period of time. May either be standardized, exchange-traded, and government regulated, or over-the-counter customized and non-regulated.
