Description: Regional cooperation is crucial in bringing about the efficiencies and economies of scale by deploying renewable energy technologies in a coordinated manner. Such an approach is particularly effective in large-scale deployment of shared renewable resources for power generation. Adopting an integrated approach to trans-boundary issues such as trade, regulatory frameworks and policies, regional infrastructure and other cross border issues would allow the countries to benefit from accessing regional renewable resources at affordable prices.
