OGPTPL recognizes that efficient execution of electricity trading in a competitive market ultimately benefits consumers. In line with the Electricity Act, 2003 and subsequent CERC and SERC regulations, OGPTPL aims to promote the spirit of the open access regime by offering consumers the freedom to choose sellers and prices and vice versa.
The company’s objective is to facilitate the trading of reliable and quality power at optimal and competitive prices by creating a nationwide network of buyers and sellers. OGPTPL aspires to become a single-window platform for generators, utilities and consumers seeking power trading solutions, contributing to the development of a robust and competitive Indian electricity market by adhering to the rules and regulations set out by CERC and SERCs inline with Electricity Act, 2003.
OGPTPL will primarily focus on supplying power to deficit regions, addressing seasonal and regional demand-supply imbalances. To mitigate off-take risks, the company will identify alternate and default buyers, and aggregate surplus capacities from small and medium generation units to establish a sustainable trading ecosystem reflecting true market prices.
All trading activities will be executed through secure commercial contracts, supported by appropriate financial security mechanisms to minimize risks for both buyers and sellers.
In addition, OGPTPL will develop internal capabilities for market research, load forecasting, demand management, weather-based load curve estimation and risk mitigation. These systems will enable proactive identification of demand-supply gaps and timely fulfillment of customer requirements.
OGPTPL is in the process of establishing a fully functional power trading desk with operations coordinated from its office and control room in Mumbai. While the current infrastructure is adequate, incremental manpower and system enhancements will be implemented as required.
