Role of Power Trading companies
11
Role of Power Trading companies
Adding liquidity
Skillful arbitrage
Finding new ways/opportunities to lay off risks
Facilitating attraction of capital to the generation and transmission Inter-connections
Bringing transparency to previously opaque markets
Removing information asymmetry
Expanding transactional opportunities
Substantially enhancing the overall efficiency of the market
12
Power traders play central role to successful market evolution
Power trading companies bring to the newly competitive markets a fresh perspective- that is different than the incumbent players
New insights to the opportunities for enhancing trade and commerce
No monopoly mind-set
Orientation towards transaction on a dynamic basis
Seizing opportunities but more importantly creating opportunities
More entrepreneurship in their willingness to take on risks
More willing to take on barriers that hereto before constrained market evolution
Bring to fore the market inefficiencies
Role of Power trading companies Contd…
Power trading companies are therefore an essential element in making a successful transition to competition
13
Role of Power trading companies from Seller’s & Buyer’s perspective
Seller’s perspective Buyer’s perspective
Arrange off-take of power as made available bythe seller
Identify buyer for off-take of contractedcapacity and enter into requisite commercialagreement on back to back basis
Manage entire transaction such as Open Access,scheduling, Energy accounting & other systemcompliance/approvals
Co-ordinate with relevant agencies for transferof power
Facilitate sale of power to third party fromalternate sources in case of short off-take byoriginal buyer
Ensure payment security Facilitate energy settlement Ensure power for testing & commissioning of
Power station/Transmission lines
Arrange power as per requirement of procurer Identify Seller for supply of contracted capacity
and enter into requisite commercial agreementon back to back basis
Manage entire transaction such as Open Access,scheduling, Energy accounting & other systemcompliance/approvals
Co-ordinate with relevant agencies for transfer of power
Facilitate supply of power from alternate sources in case of generator outages
Ensure supply comfort (Contract performance) Facilitate energy settlement Supply of power to Industries/large consumers

Inter-state trading licensees have been undertaking trading in electricity since 2004
Power Exchanges started operating since 2008. The two power exchanges, IEX and PXIL started
their operations in June 2008 and October 2008 respectively.
As of March 2013, there were 42 Inter-State trading licensees
Sudden spurt in Short term tariffs during 2008-09 led to massive Merchant capacity addition mainly in coal rich regions leading to correction in prices & also leading to Transmission constraints.
The growth led to many Utilities opting for their own Trading companies apart from spurt in Private Trading licensees. Many of them however surrendered the license later on.
During the year 2004-05 (when trading started), licensees voluntarily charged 5 paise/kwh or less as Trading margin. Average trading margin went up to 10 Paise/kwh during 2005. The CERC then decided to regulate this and fixed the trading margin at 4 (or 7 for tariff> Rs 3/Unit) Paise/kwh on 26.1.2006. As a result, the trading margin declined from 9 paise/kwh in 2005-06 to 4 paise/kwh afterwards.
The procurement of power by the industrial sector consumers through power exchanges began in the year 2009. At IEX, Open Access industrial sector consumers bought 10.41 BUs during 2012-13

In advanced stage of discussions for Banking of energy to meet the construction
power requirement of 10000 MW Hydro power capacity under development in
Bhutan.
Nepal
PSA with NEA for export of 150 MW coal-based thermal power on long-term
basis. Power flow expected in next 2-3 years
Active engagement in the up-gradation of Indo – Nepal transmission
interconnections for enhancement of power trade
Bangladesh
PTC has received LoI from Bangladesh for supply 250 MW power for a period of
three years starting from November 2013
