Also, ESCAP will launch a report on ‘Regional Power Grid Connectivity for Sustainable Development in Northeast Asia: Policies and Strategies’, which was developed to examine the potential benefits of and challenges to increased integration in the subregion, and which proposes a set of policy recommendations, based on ESCAP’s draft Regional Roadmap for Power System Connectivity, to guide and facilitate the integration process.
