Power Secretary S.C. Garg has said that there is need to increase private sector investment to create a more robust integrated cross-border power trading market. He also said that India has various sources of power generation range from conventional sources such as coal, lignite, natural gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power to viable non-conventional sources such as wind, solar, and agricultural and domestic waste, which need to be exploited
Garg has stated that the country has the scope of exporting 75,000 MW of hydro-generated power to resource-deficient neighbouring countries. He also said there is interdependence among the countries in South Asia and it makes commercial sense to cooperate in areas such as jointly exploring resources (particularly Sri Lanka and Myanmar), integrated transmission network and free participation of entities or producers from other countries such as Bhutan and Bangladesh.
He also urged the private sector to invest and jointly cooperate in the 2.5 lakh megawatt potential that exists in the South Asian region and to make dream of 'One World, One Sun One Grid' a reality.
