Consumer Surplus. All the buyers whose bids were higher than MCP have been cleared. However they will get power at a price lesser than their bid price. Thus they get power at a price lesser than that they were willing to pay. This gain is called the consumer surplus and benefits all buyers on the curve OD.

Cross-Border Electricity Trade in South Asia-Key Policy, Regulatory Issues-Challenges and the Way Forward-Background-Paper

  • Sector : Regional Power Trade and Markets, Strengthening Transmission Utilities and System Operators
  • Program Name : SARI/EI
  • Year : 2016
  • Country : South Asia
Without a consistent and coherent regional regulatory framework in place, investment opportunities and, consequently, large-scale CBET between nations that could benefit both importing and exporting nations may not happen. In the South Asian regional context, the risks associated with forging an intra-regional, CBET project would be greatly minimized if each participating country adopts complementary regulatory frameworks to facilitate cross-border interconnection and electricity trade. The SAARC Inter-Governmental Framework Agreement (IGFA) also calls for the need for institutional mechanisms for the coordination of regulations for promoting CBET in the South Asia (SA) region.This paper brings out the above by analyzing
