To facilitate the development of a regional market for electricity, the program will help to:

  • Create an institutional framework for the coordinated exchange of electric power, pricing of ancillary services, and allocation of transmission capacities;
  • Establish the economic value of water-regulating services related to flood control and irrigation;
  • Ensure increased and more reliable supply of electricity available for export beyond Central Asia.

This project will be implemented in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
