As part of the RETA Flagship Project on Interconnectors, IEA has collaborated with the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) and IRENA to produce this first guidance notes, as part of a series to help key stakeholders navigate the challenges associated with regional power system interconnectors. This knowledge product focuses on the soft infrastructure of cross-border power exchange, in accordance with the priority topics identified through a survey of regulators in February-March 2023. The guidance note can be accessed here.
Under this flagship project, the IEA, ESMAP and IRENA will continue to collaborate for the upcoming guidance notes planned for early next year.
