MUMBAI – Indian Energy Exchange Ltd. Monday said electricity traded volumes were 11.44 billion units in December, up 2.8% on year. The company reported a monthly volume of 3.83 billion units in the real-time market, up 20.5% on year, according to an exchange filing by the company. A total of 770,000 renewable energy certificates were traded in December, down 53.7% on year. These certificates traded at a clearing prices in the range of INR 345-INR 359 per renewable energy certificate.

 

The average market-clearing price in the day-ahead market was INR 3.92 per unit, up 0.7% on year. Similarly, the market-clearing price in the real-time market rose 2.2% on year to INR 3.93 per unit in December. India's energy consumption in December rose nearly 7% on year to 138.4 billion units, the energy exchange said citing government data.

 

During the third quarter of this financial year, increased hydro, wind, and sustained supply from coal-based generation resulted in higher supply liquidity on the exchange platform, leading to a substantial fall in the day-ahead market and real-time market prices, the company said. "These prices presented an opportunity for Discoms (power distribution companies) and commercial and industrial consumers to meet their demand at a competitive price and to replace their costlier power by procuring through exchanges," the company said in the exchange filing.

 

The electricity traded volumes were 34.08 billion units in Oct-Dec, up 11.9% on year. The company also reported a volume of 12.65 billion units in the real-time market, up 35.7% on year, for the Oct-Dec period, according to an exchange filing by the company. A total of 1.85 million renewable energy certificates were traded in the December quarter, down 29.8% on year.

 

For the September quarter, IEX reported net profit of INR 1.22 billion on revenue of INR 1.52 billion. Monday, the company's shares closed flat at INR 134.38 on the National Stock Exchange.  End
