Subjectto the paragraph immediately below (Hedgeable Index), the Companies will consider and evaluateflexible pricing structures, although all pricing structures are subject to approval by theCommission. The Companies will place additional value on pricing that is fixed or limits pricingvolatility over the term of the agreement. Bidders must provide to Hawaiian Electric the pricesthat the pricing method would have yielded over the twelve (12) months immediately precedingthe Proposal Due Date, including all applicable taxesHedgeable Index: In order to facilitate the Companies’ ability to hedge their fuel supply,all bid prices (other than bid prices for Biodiesel and Biodiesel Fuel Blends) must utilizea formula that is primarily based on a Hedgeable Index. A “Hedgeable Index” shall mean(i) any one of the price reference indices specified in Attachment G for HSFO, DieselLSD or ULSD (as applicable), or (ii) any other third-party reference index that (1)publishes price settlements or assessments, and trading volumes for the referenced crudeoil or petroleum product (as applicable) on a daily basis, (2) is a widely recognizedbenchmark in the oil industry, and is generally and publicly available, (3) has SufficientLiquidity (as defined in Attachment G), and (4) publishes price settlements or5
Inter-Island Fuel Supply Request for Proposalassessments for at least twenty-four (24) months into the future for the referenced crudeoil or petroleum product (as applicable).The Agreement (as defined below) will specify the following contingency in the event that theapplicable Hedgeable Index should cease to exist or publish, become generally unavailable, ormaterially change during the term of the Agreement. In the event the Hedgeable Index shouldcease to exist or publish, become generally unavailable, or materially change during the term ofthe Agreement, the Companies and the supplier shall agree upon an alternate index and pricereporting service publication or market price assessment and any modification of the per barrelpremiums and/or other pricing elements thereunder as may be reasonable under the circumstances.Agreement: The Companies and the Selected Supplier(s) will negotiate to execute an HSFO,Diesel, LSD, ULSD and/or Biodiesel and/or Biodiesel Blend Fuel supply agreement(s) (the“Agreement”).
