ENERGY PROFILE Lao People''s Democratic Republic
emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and

Renewable Energy Data in Lao PDR
Reserve coal for domestic use and power generation; Increase power export to 12,000 MW by 2020, 7,000 MW to Thailand and 5,000 MW to Viet Nam. Increase a share of other renewable energy to 30% in the total energy mix by 2025;
Laos'' Net-zero 2050: Renewable Power Generation Challenges
Laos relies on hydropower and lignite (brown coal) for most of its power generation, making up 83% and 16% of the mix, respectively. However, by the end of last year, only eight solar power projects and four biomass power plants were in operation, with an installed generation capacity of 116 MW, representing just 1% of the country''s total
Reneable Electricity and Energy Transistion in Lao PDR
power generation capacity of 11,652 MW with actual production estimated to be approximately 57,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) (Bounpha, 2023). About 83% (9,658 MW and 45,050 GWh) was from hydropower, 16% (1,878 MW and 12,200 GWh) from the Hongsa coal-fired power plant, with the remaining from solar (56 MW and 95 GWh) and biomass (43 MW and 228 GWh).

6 FAQs about [Gen power systems Laos]
What is the electricity generation requirement for Lao PDR?
The total electricity generation requirement is greater than the final electricity demand to cover the electricity consumption in the power stations and the expected losses in the transmission and distribution systems. The additional requirement for the Lao PDR was above 10% of the total final demand. This involves two processes.
Is Lao PDR developing a power plant?
The Lao PDR has been developing a sizeable amount of its hydropower resources for export to Thailand. Its coal resources have also been developed mainly for export to Thailand. Biomass and solar capacities will be further developed in the future with some possibility of also developing wind power plants.
What is energy transformation in Lao PDR?
Energy transformation involves electricity generation, oil refining, gas processing, charcoal making, and any other process that converts fuels from primary energy to secondary products. For the Lao PDR, only the primary requirements for electricity generation were considered in the transformation sector.
What is the Power Development Plan (PDP) in Laos?
Power Development Plan: Article 9 of the Electricity Law states that the electricity enterprise shall prepare the electricity development plan. Électricité du Laos (EDL) prepares the Power Development Plan (PDP) every 3to 5years. EDL formulated the PDP 2010–2020 in August 2010, revising the former PDP 2007–2017.
How much energy does the Lao PDR have?
The total primary energy supply (TPES) of the Lao PDR increased from 1,618 thousand tons of oil equivalent (ktoe) in 2000 to 4,765 ktoe in 2015 at an average annual growth rate of 7.5%. Coal had the highest increase over the 2000−2015 period at an average of 42.2% per year.
What is Lao PDR's energy policy?
Promote energy efficiency is a top priority energy policy for the Lao PDR for contributing to a reduction of energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and money outflow from the Lao PDR to import petroleum products such as gasoline. Increase of renewable energy including large hydropower plants is a second energy policy for the Lao PDR.
