Before this, such plants had reported a PLF of 28.9 per cent in May 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Gas-based power generation rose by 83 per cent Y-o-Y and 39 per cent M-o-M to 2.8 billion units (BU) last month. Overall power generation rose by 15 per cent Y-o-Y to 167.55 BU.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-bullet-list\">\n<li>\nAlso read: India\u2019s peak power demand hits 250 GW<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generation by gas-based power plants, with a monitored capacity of almost 25 gigawatts (GW), has been scaling records during the summer peak electricity demand month of May 2024.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the share of gas-based plants almost doubled to 3.1 per cent in India\u2019s overall generation last month from 1.6 per cent a year-ago, Crisil Market Intelligence &amp; Analytics said.<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s fourth largest LNG importer consumed 36.35 million standard cubic meters per day (MSCMD) natural gas in May 2024, up 33 per cent M-o-M and almost 72 per cent Y-o-Y.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, India\u2019s peak power demand (day) hit an all time high of 250 GW on May 30 against the government\u2019s projection of 235 GW. Cumulative electricity generation and consumption during the month grew at a healthy 15 per cent Y-o-Y each.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"sub_head\">\nGas shines as power demand rises<br \/>\n<\/h5>\n<p>International Energy Agency projects India\u2019s gas demand to grow 7 per cent Y-o-Y in 2024 calendar year, while Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GCEF) predicts usage to grow at 6 per cent Y-o-Y. Higher gas consumption for power generation is among the reasons fuelling the growth.<\/p>\n<p>In FY24, the PLF of gas-based plants rose to 14.8 per cent from 11.5 per cent in FY23. They produced 31.30 BU against a target of 32 BU, cumulatively consuming 235.78 MSCMD natural gas. India\u2019s peak power demand in 2023 rose to a record 240 GW in September 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, India Ratings &amp; Research (Ind-Ra) projected that gas-based power plants generation could improve intermittently during peak power demand in FY25, led by the stabilisation of gas prices.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-bullet-list\">\n<li>\nAlso read: Power Ministry reviews electricity demand-supply situation as intense heat waves bake north India<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 class=\"sub_head\">\nExchange trading<br \/>\n<\/h5>\n<p>Softening LNG prices and higher requirement of gas by the industrial and power sectors also pushed up the trade on gas exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) traded 4.92 million mBtu (million British thermal units), or around 124 million standard cubic meters (MSCM) gas volume in May, a high of 99 per cent M-o-M and a whopping 480 per cent on an annual basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trade volumes were high mainly due to an increase in gas demand from gas-based power plants amid hot weather and directives from the government to maximise their output to address the growing demand for electricity.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 96 trades were executed in May 2024, with 32 trades (maximum) executed in Monthly contracts, followed by 29 trades in Daily contracts and 19 trades in Weekly contracts, other contracts were Fortnightly, Weekday &amp; Day-Ahead.<\/p>\n<p>GIXI (Gas Index of India) for May 2024 was \u20b9851, or $10.2 per mBtu, higher by 13 per cent M-o-M. Prices at Henry Hub (HH) stood at around $2.1 per mBtu, TTF (around $10\/mBtu),and West India Marker (WIM) at around $11.3 per mBtu.<\/p>\n<p>Crisil observed that despite power demand reaching an all-time high, prices on Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) remained below \u20b95 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in May 2024 as generation increased across fuel categories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mandatory operations of imported coal-based plants along with gas-based plants under Section 11 aided generation, leading to a comfortable supply situation, it added.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-bullet-list\">\n<li>\nAlso read: Govt to review National Electricity Plan as climate change skews power demand projections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"share-article-section second-article-share share-article-section-mobile\">\n<div class=\"share-page\" data-title=\"Heat waves push gas-based power plants capacity to a five-year high in May\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.thehindubusinessline.com\/economy\/heat-waves-push-gas-based-power-plants-capacity-to-a-five-year-high-in-may\/article68405782.ece\">\n<p><span class=\"red-text-color\"\/>SHARE\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"share-list\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<li class=\"copy-link\" onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false;
