    Five years ago,

    on 27th June 2008,

    the Indian Energy

    Exchange (IEX)

    commenced its

    operations as the

    first power exchange

    in India with the

    objective to provide

    an electronic

    platform for trading

    in electricity. The IEX

    was set up under

    the aegis of Financial Technologies (India) Ltd (FTIL),

    a successful technology solutions provider, and PTCFinancial Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTC

    India Ltd.

    Exchanges across the globe are set up with the prime

    motive of competitive price discovery. However, in India,

    it was established to serve as an optional, electronic,

    nationwide competitive platform for trade in electricity.

    Little was known of the potential of such an exchange and

    the contribution it could make to the Indian power sector.

    I am delighted to share with you that, in this short span of

    five years, IEX has crossed many milestones. We are the

    first power exchange to have been set up in the country.On our first day of operations, we had only a handful

    of participants and the trading was a mere 0.058 MUs

    of electricity. Today, IEX, on an average, trades around

    80 MUs of electricity daily in its Day-Ahead Market with

    average daily participation of over 1300 buyers and

    sellers.

    Our journey has indeed been eventful and our core

    competencies have positioned us as Indias largest

    marketplace for electricity trading with over 90% market

    share across our product portfolio in volumes growing at

    a CAGR of 54%.

    With over 2600 market participants (of which over 1900are industrial consumers) comprising 27 States, 5 UTs,

    500 Generators and a share of 30% in the short term

    market in the country, we have been serving as a valuable

    link in bridging the larger power demand-supply gap in

    the country.

    Product Portfolio:

    Back in 2008, we started our operations by introducing

    Day Ahead Market (DAM) allowing consumers to procure

    power for the following day. Today, we also offer four

    products in the Term Ahead Market (TAM) segment,

    helping the participants manage their power needs upto eleven days in advance. The exchange also aids in

    accelerating renewable energy deployment by providing

    a platform for trading in RECs (Renewable Energy

    Certificates). In these five years of operations, over 65

    Message from IEX Chairman

    BUs of power have been traded through IEX across these

    product categories.

    Sparking industrial revolution:

    Since inception, IEX has made significant strides in

    facilitating access to power to consumers in the most

    transparent, competitive and reliable way for the ultimate

    benefit of all the stakeholders. We operationalised open

    access for the 1 MW and above retail consumers. Today,

    over 1900 open access industrial consumers are utilising

    the exchange platform as an alternate to meet their power

    requirements in the most cost effective and reliable way.

    One of the leading business dailies of the country, The

    Economic Times, has gone to the extent of describing us

    as having sparked the industrial revolution.

    Impact on the power value chain:

    Apart from greatly aiding industrial growth, the impact

    of our platform has also been felt across other parts

    of the power value chain. We have enabled optimum

    utilisation of the energy resources in the country by

    connecting the surplus regions to the deficit ones. The

    electricity prices discovered in the Exchange serve as

    national benchmark or reference point and are, therefore,

    of a great significance. The price signals that emanated

    from the exchange in the initial years of its establishment

    greatly encouraged private players to invest in creatinggeneration capacity thereby promoting competition in the

    sector. And, last but not the least, the market congestion,

    which has been a constant impediment in exchange

    operations, has signaled the need for reinforcement and

    augmentation of transmission network in the country.

    Looking forward:

    In the near future, we look forward to providing the

    exchange platform to trade in energy savings certificates

    under the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme of

    the Bureau of Energy Efficiency. With CERC planning to

    further tighten the grid frequency band and to increase

    Unscheduled-interchange (UI) rates, we expect asubstantial increase in the quantum of electricity being

    traded through the exchange in line with the trend in

    developed economies where exchange-traded power

    constitutes 100% or near 100% of electricity generated,

    transmitted and distributed and where the open access

    principle is an article of faith. In times to come, we indeed

    aspire to constitute at least 15% of the total generation

    in the country. I take this opportunity to thank all our

    stakeholders for their unrelenting support and, going

    forward, our endeavor will be to accelerate the momentum

    and further build the competitive landscape across the

    entire Indian Power Sector.

    Our group has been at the forefront of providing the best

    and most efficient technology for organized markets foralmost all asset classes. The common thread running

    through all our ventures is to provide accessible platforms

    enabling robust price discovery and promoting the spirit

    of growth and inclusion.

    IEX was conceived with the similar mission to provide

    a structured, transparent marketplace in power and to

    usher in modernisation of the Indian power markets. In

    its five years of existence, the trading platform provided

    by IEX has indeed enabled and empowered the sector

    by demonstrably reducing inefficiencies in the system.

    Today, IEX meets its objectives by providing a nationwide

    platform surpassing the locational barriers and harnessing

    the available power resources in the best possible way.

    Energy is at the heart of industrial growth of any country

    and our challenge has been the lack of reliable supply of

    electricity for the Indian Industry. IEX has facilitated these

    industrial consumers to manage their power needs in the

    most cost effective and reliable manner and IEX enables

    industry to contribute significantly towards countrys GDP.

    The credibility and acceptance of IEX can be seen from

    IEXs consistent high market share of above 90% across

    its product portfolio and participation from across the

    cross section including industries, generators, traders

    and distribution companies. The exchange which was

    Message from Chairman and Group CEO

    started five years back amidst a lot of apprehensions has

    today proved its mettle and is successfully operating ina supply deficit scenario with tremendous growth on all

    parameters.

    While all these milestones achieved makes me extremely

    happy, I believe this is not the means to an end. The

    markets are designed to cater to the evolving local

    needs and change has to be the only constant for the

    progress of any market and I trust the platform provided

    by IEX will continue to pioneer the launch of innovative

    long term products for further development of Indias

    power markets and also work with the government and

    regulators to achieve the ultimate goal of Power to All.

    I congratulate the team behind this success and commend

    the trust portrayed by all the stakeholders in making IEX

    the leading power exchange of India. We understand the

    role of technology and our attempt will always be to bring

    the best practices from around the world to the Indian

    markets. I hope IEX will continue providing complete

    gamut of markets like Ancillary Services, Capacity and

    very vibrant intra-day and forward markets and facilitate

    trading of at least 10-15 percent of total generation in

    times to come.

    INDUSTRY NEWS

    The day-ahead power market at IEX in the month of June

    2013 continued to remain attractive in terms of price for

    the buyers. On an overall basis, in terms of volume of

    power traded, the market saw northern and southern

    regions as the net buyers of power while the eastern,

    western and the north-eastern region were the net sellers

    of power. The Load Generation Balance Report (LGBR)

    for the FY 2013-14 released by CEA a few weeks back,

    anticipated the gap between availability of energy and

    requirement in the month of June 13 to be to the tune of7009 MUs at all India level, with only western and eastern

    region meeting their energy demands. The larger trend

    in the Day-ahead Market at the exchange was however

    on the contrary, where the sell bids far exceeded the buy

    bids. Total purchase bids received in the DAM for the

    month of June13 was close to 2578.3 MUs and the total

    sale bids were over 4191.5 MUs, indicating a surplus in

    the market. Area wise total cleared sell and buy volume in

    the DAM is represented in the table below with respective

    anticipated energy gap as per CEAs LGBR.

    The average daily cleared volume for the month was 70.4

    MUs. Whereas, the total cleared volume for the month was

    2114 MUs, lower than 2499 MUs traded in the previous

    month. Around 304 MUs were lost owing to congestion in

    the transmission network.

    As a result of excessive supply and suppressed demand,

    the prices in June 13 continued to show a downward

    trend. The average area price in N3 (Punjab) remained

    same as compared to last month, due to non-availability

    of transmission corridor as the state had tied up short term

    practically leaving no grid availability for other transactions.

    Despite arranging for additional power, the state continues

    to face demand outstripping supply. The area prices in

    other regions were also lower vis--vis last month. The

    average prices in the southern region showed maximum

    downfall of 33% in a months time, reaching`4.36 per unit.

    However, in the month of June the average participation at

    IEX in the Day-ahead electricity market was 1354, higherthan 1297 in the month of May 13, whereas the maximum

    participation of 1410 was observed on 22nd June 2013.

    On an overall basis, IEX has a total of 2184 participants in

    the electricity market of which 1900+ clients are industrial

    open access clients.

    FRP takes off with TN issuing bonds,

    leaving number of eligible states to six

    The Centres debt restructuring scheme for power

    distribution companies has taken off with Tamil Nadu

    becoming the first state to issue bonds worth`

    6,144crore in the first phase. The number of states that are

    eligible and will be a part of the governments financial

    restructuring package (FRP) is likely to be six including

    Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Madhya

    Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

    Jharkhand, which has not yet unbundled its power

    operations, may be able to get into the scheme with a

    caveat that it will complete the unbundling exercise within

    a stipulated time. The Union government has, however,

    refused to accept the Kerala model of unbundling the

    power business, making it difficult for the state to subscribe

    to debt restructuring package. The states of Rajasthan,Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have already settled terms for

    FRP with the bankers. The status of Punjab and Madhya

    Pradesh is still to be decided.

    The need for increased reliance on non-conventional

    energy is more pressing than ever owing to growing

    concerns on account of climate change. MNRE has

    targeted to achieve capacity addition of 30,000 MW

    from non-conventional energy in the XII Five year

    plan period. The Electricity Act 2003, as well as the

    National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC),

    provide the framework for increasing the share of

    renewable energy in the total generation capacity in

    the country.

    Although, India has rich sources of renewable energy

    but these are not equally distributed throughout the

    nation. Moreover, variability and unpredictability

    which are inherent qualities associated with a few

    renewable resources make it difficult to schedule the

    energy generated through these resources. Both

    wind and solar power are infirm in nature, that is,

    difficult to predict and vary significantly on an hourly,

    daily and seasonal basis. This variability makes

    grid-management a challenging task. Recognizing

    these challenges and to provide impetus to

    renewable capacity addition, CERC has notified RRF(Renewable Regulatory Fund) to enable better

    management of the grid and allow wind and solar

    farms to schedule power for a day in advance.

    RRF provides a band (+/- 30% for wind generator)

    under which the charge for imbalance (UI applicable

    for over/under generation) to that extent is not levied

    on the generator but settled through the fund.

    Thus, RRF would bear charges imposed on states

    hosting such RE projects that fail to comply with their

    energy supply commitments to the electricity grid.

    Implications of deviation in this specified band are to

    be shared among all states/UTs/DVC in ratio of theirpeak demand met in the previous month in the form

    of a Renewable Regulatory Charge (RRC) operated

    through the RRF.

    In its order dated 16th January, 2013, CERC while

    addressing a few concerns raised by stakeholders

    directed all concerned stakeholders to gear up for

    the implementation of the RRF mechanism from

    1st July, 2013. This has however been deferred till

    15th July, 2013 in the order issued by CERC on 9 th

    July, 2013 i.e. Approval of detailed Procedure for

    the Implementation of the Mechanism of Renewable

    Regulatory Fund under Regulation 6.1 (d) of Central

    Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity

    Grid Code), Regulations 2010.

    FOCUS OF THE MONTH

    To summarize, the RRF Mechanism aims to:

    Achieve better generation prediction using weather

    forecasting tools

    Safeguard wind generators from paying deviation in UIcharges up to a certain level of variation

    No UI charges payable/receivable by the Solar Generator

    Socialise the deviation charges incurred due to variationsamongst different state utilities

    Develop a self sustaining mechanism towards better

    acceptance of intermittent generation

    With an objective to enhance the predictability of variable

    renewable power, the RRF mechanism encourages wind/solar

    generators to participate in scheduling. The introduction of this

    mechanism is also likely to encourage acceptance of variable

    renewable generation in the grid, enhance grid stability as wellas increase the tradability of renewable energy. It is estimated

    that wind generation capacity of approximately 5 GW is expected

    to be covered under this mechanism vis--vis the total installed

    wind capacity of 19 GW.

    Two major high-capacity transmission corridors,

    exclusively meant for renewable energy, are being set

    up in Tamil Nadu. Estimated to a cost of `4,400 crore,

    the corridors are capable of evacuating at least 2,000

    Megawatt (MW) each.

    One corridor is from Kayathar of Tuticorin district

    to Sholinganallur, now part of the limits of Chennai

    Corporation, and the other, between Thappagundu of

    Theni district to Salem. The first corridor, covering about

    700 km, is likely to be commissioned by March next year,

    while the other line, with a length of about 400 km, is

    expected to be ready by 2014 end.

    Aimed at addressing the concerns of investors in the wind

    energy sector regarding inadequate evacuation facilities

    in the State, the two corridors will take care of the States

    future requirements too.

    INTERNATIONAL NEWS

    Saudi Arabia and Egypt signed a USD 1.6 billion deal

    on 1st June, 2013, to link their electricity grid as part of a

    project that will allow the two countries to share power.

    This agreement will require the construction of a 12-

    mile underwater cable to facilitate electricity exchange.

    This project will allow both countries to share power ofup to 3,000 Megawatts, and will achieve a return on

    investment of 13% for each country.

    The electricity interconnection project is expected to

    relieve peak-time pressures on the electricity grid in

    both countries. Peak-time summer power consumption

    in Saudi Arabia falls between noon and mid-afternoon,

    when air conditioners are used intensively, while in

    Egypt peak time falls after sunset. The Saudi and

    Egyptian electricity companies will take responsibility

    for funding, ownership, operation, and maintenanceof the power grid and electricity cables inside their

    respective territories.
