What Indian Energy Exchange does

India's dominant electronic power-trading exchange for buying and selling electricity in short-term spot markets.

Charges both buyers and sellers a small fee on every unit of electricity traded, so earnings follow traded volume rather than power prices, and the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission licenses the exchange and oversees its fees. The day-ahead and real-time markets carry most of the volume.

In one line: An electricity-trading exchange, akin to a commodity Nasdaq for power.
