The negative fair value of commodity derivatives used for hedging at 31 December 2021 (€4.2 billion) is mainly explained by the wider contractual market price/ exercise price spread on electricity hedging instruments, and to a lesser extent on gas hedging instruments, due to the rise in commodity prices in 2021, particularly at the end of the year.
These factors also explain the difference in the fair value between 2021 and 2020, essentially concerning hedges undertaken for the France – Generation and Supply, United Kingdom and Italy segments.
