Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsGreen Term Ahead Market (GTAM), sometimes seen in news is related to
Correct
c) Trading in renewable energy
Karnataka distribution companies (discoms) have become the top seller of renewable energy under the Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM) at the Indian Energy Exchange Limited (IEX).
On 21 August 2020, the green term–ahead market (GTAM), a power trading platform, was launched to enable bulk electricity buyers (discoms; corporates with a contracted load of 1 MW or above) to procure renewable energy (RE) on a short-term basis from sellers (merchant RE projects or discoms having surplus RE beyond their renewable purchase obligations or RPOs).
Typically, discoms and open-access consumers procure electricity by signing long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) for seven years or above. But, with GTAM’s launch, a new platform has emerged through from which these buyers can procure RE. In addition, it has also created opportunities for project developers to develop merchant RE capacity without getting tied down by long-term PPAs. In addition, the platform is expected to encourage RE-rich states to expand their renewable capacities beyond their RPO requirements and sell the surplus to RE-deficient states or corporate open-access consumers.
