The study identified the minimum requirements (critical ingredients) to facilitate CBET in South Asia. It also reviewed international power pools and regional trade arrangements to understand the good practices around the world and brought out the <b>Regional Regulatory Guidelines (RRGs)<\/b>. The RRGs are set of guidelines on common regulations, rules and protocols in technical, operational and legal matters for harmonization\/coordinating of electricity regulation from the perspective of promoting CBET in South Asia. It will primarily aid the national electricity regulators of the South Asian countries for developing a regional regulatory framework and for decision making on CBET in the South Asian region. Further, the Study-1 has come out with its 2nd volume report on <b>\u201cSuggested changes\/amendments clause\/section wise in the existing Electricity Laws, Regulation and policies of SA countries for promoting CBET in South Asia Region across&#8221;<\/b>. These suggested changes\/ amendments can be considered by governments of South Asian countries as a base for aligning their legal, policy and regulatory frameworks for promoting CBET in the region. This report also covers country wise proposed long, medium and short-term roadmaps for implementation of these suggested changes and amendments<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"two\" class=\"toph\">TASK FORCE-1 Study-2<\/h3>\n<p><b>Review of the prevailing investment friendly policies\/guidelines\/frameworks\/FDI regimes in each South Asian country and to develop Regional Investment Friendly Policy and Investment Framework for promoting investment in South Asian power sector and in CBET.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The objective of the study-2 under Task Force-1 \u201cRegional Investment Framework and Policy Guidelines for Promoting\u00a0Investment in South Asian Power Sector and in Cross-Border Electricity Trade in South Asia\u201d is to develop a regional investment framework to support the power sector initiatives in South Asian Countries (SACs)\u00a0 and for Cross Border Electricity Trade (CBET)\u00a0 amongst them. This involves identifying the key gaps in the existing frameworks in the region and across\u00a0SACs and managing risks that can impede investments in the South Asian energy sector, specifically\u00a0focusing on CBET and hydropower development in the region. The study aims to evolve a framework\u00a0to facilitate investments in the energy sector in South Asia, and recommend changes and amendments\u00a0in the current framework for the creation of cross border electricity infrastructure in SACs.
