Nepal's
Power Starts Flowing to Bangladesh Through Indian Grid
---
Extract from the article:
Nepal has initiated the export of up to 40 MW
of electricity to Bangladesh through the Indian grid. This landmark agreement,
signed recently, highlights the commitment to green energy initiatives and
regional prosperity. Despite facing delays due to the political crisis in
Bangladesh, the agreement symbolizes a step towards sustainable energy
collaboration among neighboring countries.
The collaboration not only fosters energy
trade but also signifies a strategic move towards enhancing regional
cooperation and addressing power deficits in Bangladesh. By leveraging the
Indian grid infrastructure, Nepal can play a pivotal role in supplying clean
energy to its neighboring nation, thereby setting a positive precedent for
regional energy partnerships.

My Take:
How
to Make Friends and Thwart Enemies
In my previous blog about renewable energy, I emphasized the potential for countries to
export excess power to their neighbors as a means of fostering stronger
relationships.
The recent development of Nepal exporting
electricity to Bangladesh perfectly aligns with this
idea.
By providing clean energy to Bangladesh, Nepal
not only strengthens ties with its neighbor but also
engages in a mutually beneficial energy exchange that can uplift both nations
economically.
A
Small Beginning for a Big Dream
The discussion around grid linking for power
trade is gaining momentum, as seen in the case of India
and Singapore planning a power grid project.
This collaboration echoes the concept I previously discussed about countries
joining forces to trade renewable energy.
The move towards establishing an underwater
cable for power exchange signifies a significant leap towards greener energy
practices and regional energy security.
The partnership between India and Singapore
underscores the importance of such initiatives in achieving sustainable
development goals and combatting climate change.

Call to Action:
To the governments of Nepal, Bangladesh,
India, and other countries in the region involved in energy collaborations,
continue to prioritize sustainable energy initiatives and foster cross-border
partnerships for a greener and more prosperous future.
Embrace similar agreements that promote
regional cooperation while addressing energy needs in an environmentally
friendly manner.
