Amplus First Solar Producer Trading Renewable Power on GTAM

Amplus Solar claimed that it is the first solar power producer to sell renewable electricity in the green term ahead market (GTAM) on the Indian Electricity Exchange (IEX). The trading in the GTAM was launched recently at IEX. The GTAM on IEX provides avenues to renewable energy (RE) generators for sale of green energy through which buyers can meet their renewable purchase obligations (RPOs). "Days after the launch of India's first ever Green Term-Ahead Market (GTAM) introduced by IEX, Amplus Solar sold solar electricity in the open market on August 20, 2020, becoming the first solar generator to trade on GTAM under the new Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) norm," a company statement said. According to statement the IEX launched the GTAM on its power trading platform after receiving approval from the CERC on August 17, 2020.
