KPI Green Energy, a part of KP Group, has announced that the company has been granted an Inter-State Power Trading Licence (Category IV) by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
This approval authorises KPI Green Energy to undertake electricity trading across state boundaries, enabling participation in India's national power markets and alignment of its power sales strategy with regional demand dynamics, the company stated.
It had earlier received an intra-state power trading licence from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), and with the addition of the inter-state licence from CERC, KPI Green Energy is now well-positioned to operate across India, establishing a comprehensive pan-India power trading platform, asserted the company.
Commenting on the development, Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Chairman and Managing Director, KPI Green Energy, said, “The inter-state trading licence strengthens our ability to operate seamlessly across markets and respond to evolving demand patterns. It enhances our flexibility in power sales, supports better price discovery, and positions KPI Green Energy to unlock greater value from its growing renewable energy portfolio.”
With this licence in place, KPI Green Energy will be able to access demand centres across multiple states, expanding beyond region-specific power offtake arrangements. It will gain the flexibility to dynamically allocate power based on market conditions, enabling improved realisations through better timing and location of sales. The company can also engage with a broader spectrum of customers, including industrial and utility buyers across geographies, while participating in exchange-led and short-term markets to complement its existing long-term contracting strategy, stated the company.
