The 6th Planning Working Group (PWG-6), 7th Focal Group (FG-7) and 7th RPTCC meetings reviewed the overall results of regional technical assistance (RETA) 6304: "Regional Power Trade Coordination and Development", in terms of the major RETA components on training, website/ database development, studies on performance standards and transmission regulation, and master plan updating.

This review served as the basis for charting the way forward under the new RETA 6440: "Facilitating Regional Power Trading and Environmentally Sustainable Electricity Infrastructure in the GMS". The Inception Workshop for RETA 6440 deliberated on the approach, methodology, work plan and timetable, organization and deliverables of the RETA, particularly as these relate to achieving the milestones prescribed in the MOU on the Road Map for Cross-Border Power Trading.
