To capture this technology cost decline impact in South Asia region, we will develop a regional electricity model that will comprise of reference energy system focusing on electricity capacity addition in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal using the bottom up technology-based TIMES (The Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System) model generator. The regional electricity model will be run with various scenario assumptions with cost decline for solar, wind and storages technologies.
