Abstract	Even though the main objective in the energy sector in lower income developing countries remains to increase supply of energy to reliably and cost effectively to meet the needs of development, lower income countries are also embanking in efforts to drive their energy systems towards a long-run low-carbon development path. Transferring of funds, new technologies, early building of green infrastructure and institutional and regulatory capacity are fundamental to achieve both, the national needs for energy development and global needs to reduce the risks of climate change. The paper will describe the early challenges that the development of renewable energy is bringing to the power sector of such countries, especially regarding the development of required transmission expansions. Overcoming these challenges requires the introduction of appropriate planning processes with the right planning principles, and the establishment of sound regulatory frameworks that support such planning process by introducing efficient cost-recovery mechanisms. While transmission development to interconnect renewable energy enables a lower- carbon power system, it is important to understand the potential implications of transmission expansions to global emissions. The paper will describe a methodological approach to determine the GHG emissions implications of different transmission projects. While, direct emission from transmission projects may be low, the impact of transmission investment on emissions may be considerable especially for weak transmission systems. This suggests that transmission development does not only serves the objective of delivering reliable power to consumers, but also may be an important contributor to mitigate the global impacts of the power sector.
