The primary purpose of the study is to help electricity sector professionals and policy makers compare IPP wholesale electricity prices in a fair and transparent manner. This could increase public understanding of generation pricing and strengthen commitment to transparency in comparisons of wholesale electricity prices. Our results will also help policy makers examine issues related to international electricity trade and promotion of private generation in South Asia.
In addition to providing a basis for comparison of generation prices, this paper contributes to a larger dialogue on the role of private power generation in South Asia’s electricity sector. We hope that the analysis of IPP pricing and comparison of IPP prices with generation prices of public facilities helps to answer a number of questions about the role of private generation in South Asia’s energy market development.
