With the re-imposition of lockdown restrictions in many parts across the country, the all India electricity demand is likely to decline by 5% to 6% in FY2021 over FY2020, against ICRA’s earlier estimate of 1% de-growth made in April 2020.
The electricity market at the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) witnessed a total trade of 4,790 MU (million units or million kwh) in June 2020 recording a 5 per cent year-on-year increase. This was despite the national peak demand registering a 10 per cent year-on-year decline during the month.
Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) said that its Real Time Electricity Market (RTM) accomplished volume of 515.46 MU (million units or million kwh) in June 2020 –the first month of operations of the new segment. A total of 237 customers participated in the RTM segment during the month.
