Cross-Border Power Trading in South Asia: A Techno Economic Rationale
Wijayatunga, Priyantha; Chattopadhyay, D.; Fernando, P. N. | August 2015
Abstract
Diversity in primary energy sources in South Asian countries and their electricity demand patterns both
time-of-day as well as across different seasons open up opportunities for greater use of cheaper and cleaner
resources for electricity generation reducing fossil fuel use in the region. Such sharing of resources through
electricity trading requires electricity transmission system strengthening including planning and development
of cross-border transmission lines. The paper presents the economic and reliability benefits of electricity
trading among the South Asian countries with case studies involving six cross-border transmission lines.
