The Project Steering Committee (PSC) is the program’s apex body and provides the overall strategic direction. The PSC is comprised of senior representation from the governments of SAARC countries, independent energy experts, diplomats, representatives from regional institutions such as the SAARC, and multilateral donors such as the Asian Development Bank. The PSC provides direction and guidance for the creation of a South Asia Regional Electricity Market, strategic ‘buy-in’ and successful implementation in favour of the SARI/EI program. The Steering Committee provides the vision, credibility, and high profile support for the program. The members also offer technical, political, regulatory, and legal guidance and advice to accomplish the vision of the program in a timely and efficient manner.
