Greater Mekong region to study shared power trade

The Asian Development Bank last week approved to extend funding to the six members of the Greater Mekong Sub region, including Vietnam, for a study on electricity trade. The US$850,000 technical assistance will help the Greater Mekong Sub region (GMS) comprising Cambodia, Lao’s Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and China’s Yunnan Province prepares a regional power trade operating agreement (PTOA), the ADB said last week.

The study will review present agreements and arrangements on power trade in the Mekong area and elsewhere, and prepare a PTOA for the GMS, the bank said in a statement.
