6. The Four Borders Project
Nexant ("THE FOUR BORDERS PROJECT: RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT AND POWER TRANSFER IN SOUTH ASIA," USAID-SARI/Energy Program, November, 2001) reported on this pre-feasibility study written to provide guidance to regional power sector stakeholders as well as governmental policy-makers as to the possibilities for interconnecting transmission systems of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Nepal in what is referred to in the report as the "Four Borders Region." This regional interconnection (the "Four Borders Project") could provide significant benefits to regional economies through closer cooperation on regional power transfer, enhanced system reliability, improved security and diversity of supply, increased economic efficiency in system operation, reduced environmental impacts, and lower costs to consumers. It also could help attract private sector investment to the regional power sector.
