Building Regional Markets: Lessons from GCCIA

Cross-border transmission capacity provides power systems with operational and economic benefits by allowing for surplus generation capacity to more easily flow to load centers during times of high demand. However, there are numerous technical, regulatory, and legal issues associated with the transmission of electricity across subnational and international borders, including: permitting and siting, capacity allocation, and cost allocation. In this webinar, the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority (GCCIA) shared its journey in establishing a regional market across six countries in the Middle East, including how different stakeholders came together to address the regulatory, financial, and technical challenges of building this system. GCCIA's vision is to become a global hub in grid interconnections emphasizing innovation, resilience, and sustainability by creating a dynamic electricity market for the region and beyond. Speakers: Ahmed Ali Al-Ebrahim, CEO, Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority; and Lawrence Jones, Vice President for International Programs, Edison Electric Institute (moderator)
