Abstract
Economic Consulting Associates (ECA) and
Cambridge Economic Policy Associates (CEPA) have been
engaged by Energy Sector Management Assistance Program
(ESMAP) and the World Bank to prepare a policy paper for
enhanced regional electricity trade involving the Economic
Cooperation Council (ECO) countries. The study has reviewed
the opportunities for increased electricity trade within the
ECO region and exports outside the region, considered the
types of trade that will be most likely to develop in the
short and evolve over the medium and longer term, and made
an assessment of the risks and obstacles to further trade
development. Drawing on international experience of national
and regional trading arrangements, as well as four case
studies of regional trade, the study has reviewed the
financing options including risk mitigation products,
considered the requirements for good governance of
international trade including dispute resolution procedures,
and made an initial assessment of the proposed
Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan electricity trade project
(TAP). Drawing on all aspects of the research, the final
section of the report presents a roadmap for development of
electricity trade in ECO.
