Policy Regulatory Framework For CBET

Border electricity trade in South Asia taking place only between Bhutan-India, India–Nepal and India–Bangladesh are through bilateral G2G arrangements, based on case to case negotiations. Policy and regulatory provisions, institutional frameworks and a few other aspects promoting and facilitating CBET exist but are not exhaustive in nature. The region envisages a manifold increase in the quantum of electricity by the end of next decade. To achieve this the existing electricity laws, regulations and policies structures will need to incorporate the minimum regulatory/legal/policy requirements for enhancing CBET expansion. Eventually there needs to be provisions that promote border electricity trade.

SARI/EI Task Force-1 for Coordination of Policy, Legal and Regulatory Issues deals with issues related to the policy, legal, and regulatory aspects of Cross Border Electricity Trade. TF-1 members are regulatory authorities, energy/power ministries, and policy-making bodies. Cross Border Electricity Trade  TF-1 works on harmonization of policies and regulations, framework for licensing, open access, tariff and trade negotiations, dispute resolution mechanism towards creating sustainable market conditions for investment and the implementation of CBET projects. The following studies are conducted by TF-1


TASK FORCE-1 Studies

Study 1: Review and analysis of Electricity Laws, Regulations, Policies and Legal Structure prevailing in each South Asia country and to recommend changes and amendments in Electricity Laws, Policies and Regulations of South Asian Countries for promoting CBET

Study 2: Review of the prevailing investment friendly policies/ guidelines/ frameworks/FDI regimes in each South Asian country and to develop Regional Investment Friendly Energy Cooperation in South Asia Policy and Investment Framework for promoting investment in South Asian power sector and in CBET

Study 3: Building Consensus & Developing a white paper on South Asian Forum of Electricity Regulators (SAFER)

Cross Border Electricity Trade

Image
In South Asia, the existing Cross-Border Electricity Trade between India and its neighbours namely Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal, provides a foundation for furthering this cooperation at the regional level. The existing electricity Cross Border Power Trade   agreements are bilateral in nature and have benefited the participating nations.  The ongoing projects to set up more cross-border interconnections between Bangladesh and India, and discussions on sea links between India and Sri Lanka, reveal the potential for regional power sector cooperation. Building on the experience of bilateral electricity trade in the region, a multilateral framework for power sector cooperation can be developed. Regional electricity cooperation may include the sharing of cross-border infrastructure, establishing regional power producers, and enhancing competition across regional markets. This would require, among others, investment in new border interconnections and the development of harmonized codes, polic
