![Page 8: The 8th Japan-SAARC Energy Symposium](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020702/61fb20c127f34c55c76be16a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SAARC Vision
Domestic energy development and bilateral
cooperation alone will not solve power and
energy crisis of South Asia.
Engagements have to be multi-lateral.

1. Afghanistan has extremely poor access to electricity.
2. Bangladesh is reliant on gas ; rapidly drawing down its gas reserves and yet facing serious power shortages.
3. Pakistan is facing power shortages between 4,000 to 6,000 MW at peak demand. Hydro is seasonal, natural gas production is stagnant and oil is expensive.
4. Sri Lankan power demand has exceeded the capacity of its viable major hydropower development options. It has embarked on imported coal based thermal power.
5. India has a serious balancing act to play between growth, reliable power supply and emissions. Primary fuel supply is already posing great challenges.
5. Rationale for Energy Connectivity Electricity
![Page 23: The 8th Japan-SAARC Energy Symposium](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020702/61fb20c127f34c55c76be16a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
6. Nepal and Bhutan have high quality (long term) hydropower potential and very little local demand.
7. Success of power exchanges in India has made a case for maximizing the potential for regional power transfers.
8. Transmission capability within India has improved remarkably over the last decade.
9. In-direct benefits • Development of inter-connections would encourage
transmission investments in other regions e.g. Central Asia that would benefit Afghanistan.
• Large scale deployment of RE technologies would bring down their costs making case for further investments.
Rationale for Energy Connectivity Electricity…………Continued
![Page 24: The 8th Japan-SAARC Energy Symposium](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020702/61fb20c127f34c55c76be16a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SAARC Inter-Governmental Framework Agreement (IGFA) for Regional Cooperation in Energy (Electricity) signed in November last year (2014):
• Unrestricted cross-border trade
• Commercial negotiation of Power Purchase Agreements
• Non-discriminatory open access
• Private sector trading
• Participation in power exchanges
SAARC Market for Electricity to be ultimately integrated with CASA Regional Electricity Market (CASAREM) for opening new horizons of peace and prosperity in Asia.
Regional Energy Connectivity Historic Milestone
![Page 25: The 8th Japan-SAARC Energy Symposium](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020702/61fb20c127f34c55c76be16a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1. Detailed Scenario Analysis on Regional Inter-
connections
2. SAARC Power Transmission Master Plan
3. Perspective Development Plan for the Power Sector
of South Asia
6. Regional Energy Connectivity The Way Forward
![Page 26: The 8th Japan-SAARC Energy Symposium](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020702/61fb20c127f34c55c76be16a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
7. SAARC Perspective Development Plan Could be a Japan-SAARC Joint Effort
1. Demand and supply profiles of all the Member States
2. Complete supply chain from generation to transmission &
distribution along with supply-demand scenarios
together with investment requirements
3. Execution plan in totality; phase wise implementation
scheme
SEC proposes JICA to join hands for undertaking
this strategic intervention which would be a huge
step towards achieving objective of energy
connectivity in South Asia.

Impact of SEC’s Initiatives
SEC is engaged in mitigating Energy Poverty through creation of SAARC Market for Electricity and multilateral energy cooperation within and across SAARC for a better tomorrow.
• Concept of SAARC Energy Ring has found acceptance at technical, policy and political levels
• Regional energy cooperation acknowledged as a “business opportunity” by private sector
• Improved flow of information and experiences across the SAARC Member States
• Development of cross-border power interconnections; Initiation of energy trading among SAARC Member States
