Financial Technologies India and PTC India have received approval from the central electricity regulatory commission to set up India's first national level power exchange, Indian Energy Exchange Ltd for trading electricity.
Indian Energy Exchange will be a pan-India neutral and transparent electronic demutualized exchange for efficient price discovery in the electricity market.
PTC India has consented to take 26 per cent stake and corporates like Tata Power, Reliance Energy, Rural Electrification Corporation, Adani Enterprises and IDEC will also hold stake in the consortium. The company will invite strategic partners to join the power exchange.
The power exchange will benefit market participants such as the generators, distribution licensees, open access users, trading licensees, industrial consumers, system operators and bankers in many ways.
Currently, short term trading constitutes only 3 per cent of the total energy market as against over 15 per cent globally. Power markets generally operate with power purchase agreements for long term trading and bilateral contracts for the short term.
Going forward, these markets will be complemented by the exchange, which will have standard contracts, nationwide choice, better price and payment security
