IEX Achieves 9,642 MU Electricity Trade

The Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) has reported a significant achievement, trading 9,642 million units (MU) of electricity in October, reflecting a 10% increase in year-on-year (YoY) volumes. This growth comes as part of a broader trend in the energy market, where electricity trading and renewable energy certificate (REC) trading have surged.

The surge in electricity trading has been driven by increasing demand for power, particularly during the festival season and rising industrial activity across India. IEX, which operates as a leading platform for the exchange of electricity in India, saw robust participation in various market segments, including day-ahead market, term-ahead market, and real-time market, catering to the growing need for flexible power procurement options.

A key highlight of the month was the surge in REC trading, which increased by 105% compared to the same period last year. This surge reflects heightened interest in renewable energy certificates, as power generators and distribution companies strive to meet renewable purchase obligations (RPOs). The growth in REC trading is also seen as a positive sign for India’s clean energy goals, driving the transition toward more sustainable energy sources.

IEX's platform continues to play a crucial role in improving the efficiency and transparency of India's electricity market, enabling better price discovery and ensuring grid stability. With increasing demand and a continued focus on renewables, the future of electricity trading in India looks poised for further growth.

Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
