Electricity non-storability leads to relatively high fluctuation range of at-sight electricity price. It is necessary to apply electricity financial derivative tool for risk management and control. Electricity swing forward option pricing widely applied in electricity financial market is mainly studied in the paper. Swing option pricing is converted into linear complementary problem for solution through finite difference, discrete transaction time and price.
