Supreme Court Allows CERC to Proceed with Market Coupling Regulations, Dismisses IEX Challenge
The Supreme Court dismissed Indian Energy Exchange's (IEX) challenge to the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission's (CERC) market coupling framework, ruling the case premature as regulations are yet to be finalized. The court allowed CERC to continue framing the rules and stated IEX could raise objections after notification. Market coupling aims to pool buy and sell orders across power exchanges for a single market-clearing price, potentially impacting IEX's market dominance. Following the ruling, IEX shares fell about 4%.
