4 FAQs about Laos microgrid economics

Should Laos manage its own power grid?

A better path forward would be for Laos to manage its own power grid to increase the efficacy of its growing electricity exports, along with much-needed revenue, and help develop its domestic grid for more solar power on its path to net zero in 2050. Tim has been working in energy markets in the Asia-Pacific region for more than ten years.

Does Laos have a grid problem?

Laos has also struggled to maintain grid integrity, which could cause future grid curtailment as it seeks to develop more renewable energy sources. A World Bank report found that EDL has generally lacked resources for grid system maintenance and upgrades.

How can Lao PDR-generated electricity be exported to neighbouring countries?

Integration of the Electricity System To efectively supply Lao PDR-generated electricity domestically and for export to neighbouring countries without any surplus, the power system for domestic supply should be integrated and operated with dedicated transmission lines for export.

What is the long-term goal of the Lao economy?

The long-term goal of the Lao economy, as enshrined in the constitution, is economic development in the direction of socialism. Laos has hydropower resources; the country has potential for hydro- and solar power. Excess electricity from hydropower is exported to other countries. The country relies on coal in its electricity production.
