Kerala State Electricity Board urged to form dedicated team to explore electricity futures market

India’s Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has instructed the Kerala State Electricity Board to create a dedicated team that will examine the feasibility of an electricity futures market. The aim is to assess mechanisms for hedging short‑term price volatility and risk, potentially using exchange‑based contracts, to improve overall market stability in the state’s power sector.
