re: CPN & fuel cost

To the extent that CPN doesn't want to be a fuel price speculator it enters into long-term contracts and/or otherwise hedges this exposure to lock in the spark spread (fuel -> power).

I haven't looked closely lately so can't say the degree of exposure they have wrt rapidly changing prices; exposure for windfalls of the good or bad sort.
