Supreme Court Allows CERC to Proceed with Power Market Coupling Regulations
The Supreme Court dismissed the Indian Energy Exchange's appeal against the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission's (CERC) order to implement market coupling in the day-ahead power market. The court allowed CERC to proceed with finalizing regulations, expected within four to six weeks, without expressing an opinion on the merits. Market coupling aims to unify bids across power exchanges to improve price discovery. The court kept legal questions open for future consideration, and stakeholders remain cautious about the mechanism's design and impact.
