Green certificates to resume trading on IEX, PXIL after 16 months
Trading of renewable energy certificates is set to resume on the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) as well as Power Exchange of India (PXIL) after a gap of 16 months.
Renewable Energy Certificate or green certificate trades were suspended in July 2020 after APTEL decided to postpone the trading by four weeks while hearing three separate petitions related to an issue of fixing floor and forbearance prices of RECs by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
Appellate Tribunal For Electricity (APTEL) and CERC have given the go-ahead to begin RECs trading in their orders issued on November 9 and November 18, respectively.
