1 Legal and Regulatory Issues Promoting Cross Border Energy Trade in South Asia Dr. Salim Mahmud Member, Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission 1
2 Why cross border energy trade? Continued power shortages hamper growth prospects. Seven of the eight South Asian countries face a persistent energy shortage and outages that account for a loss of more than 2 percent of GDP Regional decision makers now recognize that they lag behind in energy integration. South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries in the 13th summit agreed on the energy ring concept. Energy Diversification is a key driver. Several countries are spending more than 10% of their forex spend on fossil fuel imports. This makes a combined, diversified regional approach to resource use critical to energy security. Economies of scale. In Western Europe close to 10% of the cost of production of electricity is saved by regional interconnections. Regional complementarity. South Asia is endowed with diverse energy resources with different countries possessing complementary resource to others. Seasonal Imbalances. 2
