Power India found that to discuss various issues pertaining to electricity/power trading, representatives of more than 30 power bourses worldwide including Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) will meet during 5 to 7 November 2012.
IEX is co-hosting the annual conference of global power exchanges along with the conference of Association of Power Exchanges (APEx).
The agenda of the meeting includes:
- Topics related to power exchanges and markets globally.
- Impact of the shift towards renewable energy sources following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan.
