Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) registered sales of 16,486 million units (MU) in Q3, a 13.2% growth from the previous quarter. The increased sales were attributed to multiple factors including rise in power demand, reopening of industrial and economic activities and lifting of Covid-19 related lockdown restrictions in the country.
Hydro and wind power dominated the renewable energy sector in Europe while solar power generation dropped, as the continent emerged from the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

American power utility companies Florida Power & Light (FPL) and Duke Energy restarted disconnecting electricity to customers in Volusia and Flagler counties in Florida for the non-payment of bills. The companies refrained from taking action for several months taking into consideration the rising coronavirus cases and the resulting lockdown restrictions. While Duke Energy resumed disconnecting electricity to customers defaulting on payments in September, FPL started cutting off power in October.
