Energy Connectivity in South Asia (ECSA) Project

planned

The European Union has launched a €5 million regional energy connectivity initiative aimed at accelerating cross-border electricity trade, integrating renewable energy resources, and supporting the development of a more interconnected power market across South Asia. The four-year project will work with Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka to strengthen energy security and improve access to affordable, reliable, and cleaner electricity. It also seeks to catalyse investment in renewable energy generation, cross-border transmission infrastructure, and modern power systems, including through greater participation by European investors and institutions.
