Spot power prices on the India Energy Exchange hit a high of Rs 3.9/kWh in the week of September 4, the highest weekly price since October 2014. Evening peak prices has gone even higher reaching Rs 8/kWh (US$125/MWh) on September 12. Gujarat's state grid operator started to operate its CCGTs on LNG to reduce its power purchase costs.
