This document discusses opportunities for electricity cooperation across South Asia. It notes that the region is home to 24% of the world's population but over 40% of those without access to electricity. It then outlines the power generation and transmission infrastructure and potential in several countries in the region: - India has coal, hydro, wind and solar resources and neighboring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Pakistan also have significant hydro, gas and coal resources. - Cross-border transmission projects are underway or planned to export hydro power from Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar to India to help meet India's growing energy needs and reduce its deficits. Harmonizing policies and developing regional institutions can further facilitate electricity trade across the region.
