India set to see biggest jump in coal-fired power in a decade
India is set to add 15.4 gigawatts of new coal power capacity this year, the most in nearly a decade, to meet rising electricity demand. Despite clean-power goals, coal remains vital due to economic growth and severe heat waves. Challenges in energy storage hinder renewable expansion, with slow progress in alternative technologies.
As unrelenting heat wave makes power demand spike, utilities told to be on high alert
The ministry's statement highlighted that the northern region has faced high electricity demand since May 17, 2024, due to the heatwave. Despite these tough conditions, the highest-ever peak demand of 89 GW in the northern region was successfully met on June 17, 2024.
Electricity trade volumes on IEX jumps nearly 29 pc to 10,633 mn units in May
Indian Energy Exchange's trade volume grew by 29% in May, with electricity volumes increasing by 21%. The renewable energy certificates (RECs) surged by 640.3% yearly, impacting obligated entities and voluntary customers. Proactive measures by the government and regulators influenced trading platforms and market prices.
Despite record peak demand, power exchange prices remain lower than last year's peak period
The average daily price in the day-ahead market on the power exchange remained lower in May compared to peak periods last year, despite record-high peak demand. This indicates sufficient energy supply from various sources. The average price during May was ₹5.30 per unit, lower than last year's peak period of mid-August to mid-September, which was ₹7.75 per unit. Increased hydro and wind power generation have contributed to this improvement in supply. Even during days of record peak demand, prices remained relatively low on average.
