Market Coupling Operator to improve power trading efficiency in India
Executive Summary
The introduction of a Market Coupling Operator for power trading in India aims to improve price discovery, with 90% of stakeholders supporting the move, but Grid India and IEX have raised concerns over the sole MCO plan. The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has proposed designating Grid India as the sole MCO, responsible for the operation and management of market coupling.
