    About this ebook

    Electricity shortages in South Asia are adversely impacting the region's socioeconomic development. Energy trade is seen as a solution to this challenge. The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Framework Agreement for Energy Cooperation (Electricity) is a key step in realizing regional trade in energy. To support implementation of the framework agreement, ADB and SAARC in Law are working to improve legal and regulatory harmonization in the energy sector. This report identifies the legal, regulatory, technical, and commercial requirements for energy trade, and what each country in South Asia needs to do to make the framework agreement a reality. The recommendations, summarized in tables, provide an easy reference for policy makers and energy stakeholders in the region.

      This report is a collaboration between the Office of the General Counsel of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation in Law (SAARCLAW). It would not have been possible without the strong support and commitment of SAARCLAW’s leadership led by its former president, Chief Justice Kalyan Shrestha (retired) of Nepal, and its former secretary general, Hemant Batra.
