Economic impacts of replacing natural gas with renewable energy in SASEC region<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In this study, IRADe is assessing the economic and environmental implications (investment, energy supply cost, energy trade, and emissions etc) of replacing natural gas with renewable energy in SASEC countries- Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, considering regional energy trade wherever possible. Based on current and projected future use of gas, IRADe will develop a scenario and roadmap to promote renewable energy to meet energy needs and accelerate reduction in dependence on gas over time in SASEC countries. The study activities will include:<\/span><\/p>\n

Review plans and projections of energy demand and use of gas in SASEC countries;<\/span><\/p>\n

Review plans and policies as well as targets of SASEC countries in promoting renewable and meeting climate change targets;<\/span><\/p>\n

Develop long term scenarios consistent with economic growth and energy resources;<\/span><\/p>\n

Explore role of renewable in\u00a0 replacing\u00a0 natural\u00a0 gas as countries pursue their low carbon development;<\/span><\/p>\n

Quantify\u00a0 impact\u00a0 on\u00a0 economy\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0 emissions\u00a0 by\u00a0 indicating\u00a0 pathways\u00a0\u00a0 of\u00a0\u00a0 generation\u00a0\u00a0 mix, cost of capacity expansion requirements, fuel requirements for power generation and emerging trade patterns and profile of emissions;<\/span><\/p>\n

Organize stakeholder consultation meetings and lead the discussion on draft report (Economic benefits of replacement of natural gas with renewable energy sources\/systems gradually in the SASEC region) and incorporate comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Study on Economic Analysis derived for regional cooperation in electricity in SASEC region<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

South Asia Sub regional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) countries\u2019 energy trade is increasing and went up from 100 MW in 2012 to 4000 MW by 2020. It is moving to market exchange based power trade that will generate competitive price. The trade is mutually beneficial as exporters\u2019 economic growth can go up by revenue from export of power, making it viable to develop untapped hydro potential and facilitating accelerated investments. The importers can reduce the cost of power, and develop more of their renewable power.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this study funded by ADB, IRADe will estimate economic benefits of power trade among the SASEC countries. For this, IRADe is reviewing the existing studies and plans and developing long-term generation plans of each country keeping the current and future demand of power needed for economic growth suitable to all countries, the upper limits of potential of various energy resources and their current and expected costs, and their seasonal and daily load patterns. The study will involve consultation with governments, and other stakeholders during the preparation of the draft report.<\/span><\/p>\n

Detailed technical transmission interconnection study (SASEC-REC)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

IRADe is working on a detailed technical transmission interconnection study and assessing economic benefits of interconnections between SASEC countries and South-East Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n

This study involves the review of existing and planned studies and initiatives to promote power trade between South Asia and Southeast Asia. To assess economic benefits, technology selection models for each of the selected SEA countries and linked to the models of SASEC countries will be assessed. Various Scenarios of these models will provide hourly and seasonal trade levels for each country for a number of years. Based on the scenario results, potential interconnection lines, keeping the maximum and minimum trade possibilities, a robust range of transfers will be identified together. The connections will be assessed for their economic viability. The various possibilities will be discussed with expert stakeholder consultations, to choose among optimal Transmission system models for each pair of countries. This model would consider the highest voltage power system in each country, existing interconnections, and proposed alternative interconnections, for optimization under the given hourly trade levels<\/span><\/p>\n
