Hedge market development

On 1 May 2014 the WAG  considered a paper dealing with metrics suggested to assist in their project on hedge market development.

As part of the project on hedge market development, UMR Research provided a presentation. The presentation drew from in-depth interviews being part of the then yet to be completed Hedge Market survey which was undertaken for the Authority.
