The BEA issues licenses and monitors the performance of the licensees to ensure compliance with the provisions of Acts, Regulations, Standards, Codes, etc., For instance, the Bhutan Electricity Authority (BEA) has granted license to Dagachhu Hydropower Corporation Limited (or Licensee) to carry out the activities of construction, generation, supply, and export.

Many analysts have recognized the value of development of power exchange and related market mechanism to enhance Cross border Electricity Trade (CBET) among the South Asian Nations.

With High Level of Cross Border Interconnection being envisaged, it is obvious that for safe, reliable and stable operation of the interconnected transmission system, the various technical aspects of grid codes, operating procedures and standards needs to be harmonized/coordinated.

Review of the Grid Codes of the respective South Asia nations covering procedures/codes/standards such as Power system operating procedures, protection code, metering code, connection code, planning code, system security, demand estimation systems, outage planning, recovery procedures etc.

The guidelines deal only with limited areas where need for such common guidelines has been felt by the SAC and are not meant to be comprehensively dealing with all matters related to CBET.

Regional Regulatory Guidelines is one of the outcome of the TF-1 study on Review of Electricity Laws, Policies and Regulatory framework of SAC to identify critical requirements of CBET and recommend changes/amendments therein for consideration of the SA countries.

With Such High Level of Cross Border Interconnection being envisaged, it is obvious that for safe, reliable and stable operation of the interconnected transmission system, the various technical aspects of grid codes, operating procedures and standards needs to be harmonized/coordinated.

Grid Code details the rules, procedures, guidelines, criteria and responsibilities to be complied with by the users, owners and operators of the transmission system of a country.

International experiences suggesting a strong and robust regional regulatory institutional mechanism for harmonization and coordination of regulations.

To identify the electricity trading potential of the South Asian nations (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Maldives and Afghanistan) over a period of next 20 years by reviewing the existing long term Demand-Supply projections of the participating countries.

Interconnection between thermal based systems and hydro systems allows the surplus hydro production to be fully utilized and also “firms up” the hydro system capacity in times of drought.

The Core objective of the SARI/EI Program is to promote integration of Energy System and enhance Cross border Electricity Trade (CBET) among the South Asian Nations.
