Based on these results the authors have formulated a ten-year roadmap that has prioritized the investments in cross-border connections based on those that deliver the greatest benefits to the region. The roadmap has identified a high level strategy for interconnection as well as identifying some important preconditions that need to be implemented as part of progressing the GMS towards a fully interconnected region. The purpose of this report is to document the modelling methodology, assumptions and results underpinning all eight business cases and an integrated GMS case. The report has been structured as follows: Section 2 covers the Task 1 objectives; Section 3 provides an overview of the current status of the GMS country networks; Section 4 discusses the current state of cross-border connections in the GMS; Section 5 outlines the possible cross-border interconnections; Section 6 forms a list of the Business Cases studied; Section 7 summarizes the Business Case key modelling results; Section 8 describes the integrated case where we seek to optimize generation and transmission projects jointly, providing insight into how best to prioritize the business cases that we study on this project; Section 9 provides a high-level conclusion of the various business case links on GMS trading; and Section 10 sets out our suggested next steps.  Exibir menos -
