Towards Regional Energy Security in South Asia

In South Asia, India, Bangladesh, Bhutan as well as Nepal have established transmission web links whereby electricity is being traded. Opportunities for Cross-Boundary Electricity Trade (CBET) in the area have magnified especially that power safety has come to be a political top priority for all the country federal governments. The current growths favoring CBET in the region include finalizing of the Power Trade Agreement by Governments of India and Nepal along with the finalizing of the SAARC Framework Agreement for Power Participation (Power) in December 2014. These advancements have already set in motion stakeholders for regional and also sub-regional tasks in the areas of power generation, transmission, and also power trade. The gravitas for CBET in South Asia was further developed when the second meeting of SAARC energy regulators kept in February 2016 mulled over to constitute the "SAARC Council of Experts as well as Power Regulators (Electrical Power)" and an "Online forum of Regulatory authorities".

The SARI/EI phase IV is conducted by Integrated Research as well as Action for Growth (IRADe) selected with a competitive procedure. Energy Cooperation in South Asia Throughout the five-year program (2012-2017), IRADe, as well as USAID, are functioning in the direction of promoting the combination of energy systems as well as enhance Cross Border Power Trade amongst the getting involved South Asian nations.
