When power companies contract to take a certain quantity of energy or at a certain power rate, if they miss the contracted rate they can be charged enormous fees. It sound like they've over bought for their current customer usage. Usually it works out at the wholesale market, because somebody is likely to have unexpected loads, but not always. If seen certain periods of time on the big exchanges where, for a small time, the cost swings from $50/MWh to $-200/MWh and worse. It's likely cheaper for your provider to pay the contract amount and give it to you than to pay the penalty rate for missing their target!
