Update on REC Trading for the month of December 2013: Non-Solar RECs Up by 31%, Solar RECs by 7%...

The 10th REC Trading Session of the Financial Year 2013-14 was conducted on 26th December 2013 marking the end of Q3 on both the Power Exchanges, IEX and PXI.

This REC trading session shall bring some comfort and shall develop faith over REC Mechanism, as the market has shown a substantial positive growth and there are good indicators to grow even more.

Overall the results have sustained optimism as compared to the preceding trading month.

The increment in the overall Buy bid of both Solar and Non Solar has re-infused the faith in the future of REC market. Though, the Solar REC market has grown by a thin margin in this trading session, but the increasing participation from the buyers will ensure a promising future for solar market.

In comparison to last trading session of November 2013, the buyer’s participation has substantially increased by 30.73% for Non-solar and by 7.18% for Solar REC Market. The effect of RPO enforcement over the obligated entities has started showing the effect and it is expected to create more demand of certificates in the near future.

As per REC Registry, the market crossed 0.4 million marks in terms of REC redeemed. This volume (4,11,744 RECs) traded in a single session is the highest redeemed volume of this fiscal and more importantly marginally matches the volume of March 2013 (last month of FY13).

With last three months still remaining in this year and chances of higher buyer-side participation in the subsequent sessions REC markets may revers the earlier trends.
