4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Special review of wind and solar complementary power plant in Laos"

Can commercial wind power be developed in Laos?

Commercial wind power capacity, however, could see limited development due to typically low wind speeds. Laos has also struggled to maintain grid integrity, which could cause future grid curtailment as it seeks to develop more renewable energy sources.

What is the largest wind power project in Laos?

The project, a 1,200 MW wind power project in the Lako Focus Area, Sepon District, Savannakhet Province, marks the largest wind power development in Laos to date and is expected to generate enough electricity to power both domestic needs and contribute to the region's energy security.

Should Laos rely on hydropower?

As of early 2023, Laos produced power from 76 hydropower dams, with another 43 still under construction. At first glance, it would appear that Laos' overreliance on hydropower would be beneficial in terms of energy independence and a negligible carbon footprint, but challenges remain. On the one hand, hydropower is considered a clean energy source.

Why does Laos suffer from energy instability?

However, Laos generally suffers from energy instability because most of its power plants are owned by international businesses and generate electricity for export. It even has two electricity grids, one for exporting power and one for domestic usage.
