1) WR→NR interface blinked briefly; NR import needs did not
8A total of 4 blocks (1.00% of day) saw WR→NR ATC breaches on 2025-09-30, yet “Import of NR” showed violations in 9 blocks (2.25%).
Inference — Local import pressure into NR was broader than any single corridor pinch, pointing to systemic tightness rather than a one-off interface. Chain: WR→NR (4 blocks) + “Import of NR” (9 blocks) from the same SRI sheet.
Why it matters — Price separation risk was driven by NR’s import need; hedging NR import exposure would have been more protective than a pure WR→NR hedge.
2) Frequency tails were heavy despite a benign mean
8On 2025-09-30, average frequency printed 50.011 Hz, but 210 excursions were above 50.03 Hz and 115 below 49.97 Hz; the intraday low was 49.604 Hz at 08:22:10 IST.
Inference — Control held the mean but not the tails, implying governor/AGC headroom was tested around the morning ramp and pre-noon shoulder.
Why it matters — DSM exposure sits in the tails; timing reserves to excursion clusters (not the average) avoids paying for “quiet” hours.
3) DAM crash on 2025-09-28 was about order book, not constraints
8Weighted MCP fell to Rs 2.21/kWh as sell bids (575,933.48 MWh) dwarfed purchase bids (162,703.99 MWh) — a ~3.54× sell/buy skew.
Inference — With that skew and no same-day ATC narrative in the exchange sheet, the fall aligns with an order-book inversion, not transmission binds.
Why it matters — On such days, pre-hedging peaks is counter-productive; better to scale bids with the sell/buy ratio.
4) RTM’s tightest price wasn’t the weekend
8RTM MCP peaked at Rs 3.78/kWh on 2025-09-25 with the week’s highest scheduled volume (151,602.28 MWh), while 2025-09-28 cleared more volume (177,224.49 MWh) at only Rs 2.35/kWh.
Inference — Scarcity concentrated on a weekday ramp; weekend oversupply expanded depth and compressed price.
Why it matters — Intraday cover is most valuable on weekday shoulders; weekend “high tape” is often noise without depth.
5) Hydro-peaking auctions didn’t transact despite supply
8Across 23–30 Sep, HPDAM recorded large sell bids daily (e.g., 90–109 GWh), yet scheduled 0 MWh on every day; even on 26–28 Sep when there were purchase bids, results were zero.
Inference — Auction constraints (price/volume match windows) or offer granularity blocked monetisation of available flexibility.
Why it matters — Unused hydro flex pushes buyers into pricier RTM cover and leaves Rs on the table for hydro owners.
6) Northern thermal under-delivered; hydro stayed on-plan
8On 2025-09-29 (CEA DGR), Northern thermal generated 834.99 MU vs a program of 914.62 MU (-79.63 MU), while Northern hydro was essentially on program (327.56 MU vs 327.77 MU).
Inference — Hydro adherence backfilled part of the thermal shortfall and likely moderated import needs into NR the next day. Chain: DGR (29-Sep) → SRI (30-Sep import breaches).
Why it matters — Each ~80 MU thermal gap raises reliance on inter-regional flows or RTM, with spillover to ATC/price risk.
7) Coal inventory bloat at low-util plants skews risk
8Panipat TPS (Haryana) held 428 kt coal (199% of normative) at just 51% PLF on 2025-09-29.
Inference — Stockpiles are being parked at moderate-utilisation stations; this cushions local risk but does little for system-wide flexibility if those units aren’t scheduled.
Why it matters — Carrying costs rise while flexibility stays stranded; dispatch policy should prioritise inventory at plants likely to run.
8) PSP daily shows frequency discipline issues alongside clean “zero-shortage” optics
8All-India FVI was 0.048 on 2025-09-30, with 73.37% of time in 49.9–50.05 Hz but 22.84% above 50.05 Hz; state table simultaneously reports zero energy shortage in several NR states despite large OD/UD spikes.
Inference — Operational stress is visible in frequency metrics even when headline “shortage” reads as zero; deviation control, not scarcity, drove system risk.
Why it matters — Utilities that target “zero shortage” optics but ignore tail control invite DSM/ancillary costs in crores.
