The toolkit has a modular structure: The “Road Map” introduces the broad developmental context for the regional power pool initiatives, which the World Bank Group is supporting under the Infrastructure Action Plan. It describes the building blocks—a robust legal, regulatory, and organization, framework—for regional power pool initiatives and highlights critical success factors through a case study on the enduring experience of Nordic countries.
