Australian Wholesale Electricity Hedge Book / Contract Position Report

Portfolio-level wholesale electricity hedge book and contract position reports held by a NEM generator, retailer or gentailer: contracted volumes aggregated by NEM region (QLD1, NSW1, VIC1, SA1, TAS1), product (swap, cap, floor, PPA, futures) and period, in MW or MWh, with strikes in $/MWh, counterparties, mark-to-market and the open or net position against forecast generation or load. Complements au-electricity-derivative-confirmation (single executed trade confirmations) and au-forward-curve-artefact (price curves); this classifier covers the aggregated position report.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: the primary phrases are shared with financial-markets position reporting, so enforcement requires NEM region IDs with MW/MWh volumes on the same line; forward curves (region plus $/MWh without volume) do not satisfy the row regex. Public ASX Energy and AER material with the same numbers is excluded by source terms within the window only. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy.

Known false positives

Forward curve extracts and price snapshots quote regions and $/MWh. Mitigation: The position-row regex needs a MW or MWh volume after the region ID; prices in $/MWh alone do not qualify.
AER State of the Market, ASX Energy settlement data, annual-report hedging notes and news. Mitigation: Source terms (State of the Market, ASX Energy, daily settlement, notes to the financial statements, annual report, media release) are excluded within the proximity window.
Financial-markets (FX, equities) open-position reports. Mitigation: NEM region IDs with MW/MWh volumes are required at enforce tiers.
