摘要
一旦456兆瓦的上Tamakoshi水电项目在2018年底投入使用,尼泊尔预计将在2019年的雨季/季风季节拥有多余的能源。尼泊尔能源部已决定通过与印度的能源银行解决这一过剩问题,即尼泊尔以“相同的数量”向印度出口雨季电力。这是一个极端naïve的假设,即使只是为了谈判。在讨论能源银行概念的短视时,本文强调尼泊尔应该激活其他两项现行的电力交易工具,即2014年双边和区域印度-尼泊尔电力贸易,跨境输电和电网连接协议以及2014年南盟能源合作框架协议(电力)。激活这两项协议将使“芝麻开门”(Open Sesame)为尼泊尔日益增长的水力发电能力打开大门,对两国来说是双赢的局面。HYDRO Nepal journal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue: 23Year: 2018
Energy Banking with India : Path of Least Resistance
Once the 456 MW Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project is commissioned by the end of 2018, Nepal is expected to have surplus energy during the wet/monsoon season of 2019. Nepal’s Energy Ministry has decided to resolve this surplus issue through Energy Banking with India whereby Nepal exports her wet season power for India’s dry season import on “the same volume”. This is an extremely naïve assumption even if it is for the sake of mere negotiation. Discussing the short-sightedness of Energy Banking concept, this article stresses that Nepal should have, instead, activated the other two prevailing instruments of power trading, that of bilateral and regional 2014 Indo-Nepal Electric Power Trade, Cross-Border Transmission and Grid Connectivity Agreement and the 2014 SAARC Framework Agreement for Energy Cooperation (Electricity) respectively. Activating these two agreements would have ‘Open Sesame’-d the doors to Nepal’s growing hydropower capabilities – a win-win situation for both countries.
