STEADY SUPPLY
ELECTRICITY PRICES IN the spot market declined by 32% on year in October owing to enhanced hydro, wind, and solar generation, combined with steady supply from coal-based plants.
As per data from the Indian Energy Exchange, market clearing price in the day ahead market stood at %2.67/unit during October, down 32% from the same period last year. Similarly, prices in the Real Time Market stood at §2.73/unit during last month, down 27.8% from October 2024.
“Enhanced hydro, wind, and solar generation, combined with steady supply from coal-based generation resulted in higher supply liquidity on the exchange platform, leading to a decline in DAM and RTM prices,” IEX said.
