We discuss the problem of hedging between the natural gas
and electric power markets. Based on multiple forecasts for
natural gas prices, natural gas demand, and electricity prices,
a stochastic optimization model advises a decision maker on
when to buy or sell natural gas and when to transform gas into
electricity. Larger models are solved using Benders decomposition
and Lagrangian relaxation. The resulting solution can be further
refined using branch-and-bound. Possible future extensions will
be presented.
