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.
