SDG 7 Roadmap for Lao PDR
Lao PDR''s access to electricity was 93.5 per cent in 2018. Based on the historical trend, it is estimated that Lao PDR will achieve universal access to electricity by 2025. Universal access to clean cooking technology and fuel, however, has been and likely to remain very low in the
ENERGY PROFILE Lao People''s Democratic Republic
Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.

Can Nam Ngum solar replace Mekong hydro in Laos?
Looking to offer Laos a true alternative to hydroelectric power, I have put forward the idea of a 11,400 MW floating solar-with-storage system (FSS) on the 370 km2 Nam Ngum reservoir – the biggest open and flat surface in Laos. The FSS could generate 15,000 GWh/year of energy, which is about equal to that of the above three hydroelectric
3 FAQs about [Laos alternative power systems]
What is the energy mix in Laos?
As of February 2014, Laos' energy mix is dominated by hydro (98.61%). The installed capacity of power generation projects stands at 3020.27 MW, and the hydropower projects consist of those set up by the electrical utility in Lao, those for domestic use, and for export.
How does the power mix change in Thailand and Laos?
Evolution of the power mix in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia designed by urbs. Negative values indicate that electricity exports exceed imports. Note that most of the electricity exported from Laos goes to Thailand. The decarbonization strategy shifts drastically from 2025 onwards.
