Quarter read
What the record says.
IEX reported consolidated revenue of INR 127.4 crore (+12.3% YoY) and PAT of INR 75.8 crore (+9.7% YoY) for Q1 FY24. Total electricity volume grew 8% YoY to 25.1 BU, driven by lower DAM prices (down 34% YoY to INR 5.7/unit) and improved coal availability. The upcoming Grid Code implementation (expected Oct 2023) allowing generators to sell unrequisitioned surplus power on exchanges without buyer consent is a key volume catalyst. Management guided for ~15% volume growth in FY24, supported by July volumes already up 22%. Risks include potential market coupling (under CERC review) which could alter exchange dynamics, and continued softness in gas exchange volumes (down 9% YoY).
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects total electricity volume to grow around 15% in FY24, supported by July volumes already up 22%.
- Management expects volumes in the Long Duration Contracts segment to exceed 5 billion units in FY24.
- IEX plans to launch its voluntary carbon credit exchange platform within the current financial year.
Risks flagged
- Ministry of Power has asked CERC to examine market coupling, which could alter exchange price discovery and reduce incentives for product innovation.
- Q1 FY24 electricity consumption grew only 1.8% YoY due to cooler weather, below the anticipated 8-9%.
- IGX volumes declined 9% YoY in Q1 due to higher domestic gas availability under long-term contracts, reducing spot market participation.
Key quotes
- Grid Code supersedes all PPAs. The scheduling mechanism indicated in the Grid Code supersedes the PPA, and as per that, the generators will be now free to sell URS power on the exchange platform.
- In the current scenario, where in India we have voluntary market and the transactions through the exchange is just about 6-7%, there is no case for the market coupling.
- I'm sure about one thing, that gas exchanges, as I have always mentioned, that will definitely do as good as IEX.
