4 FAQs about Laos solar container outdoor power

Why is solar power important in Laos?

Solar power has improved the livelihoods of local people. For people living off-grid in remote villages in Laos, solar energy offers a clean, sustainable way to bring electricity for all, and the promise to transform their lives.

How many solar power plants are there in Laos?

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 electricity production. As of early 2023, Laos produced power from 76 hydropower dams, with another 43 still under construction.

How much does electricity cost in Laos?

To its credit, state-run electricity company Electricité du Laos (EDL) is trying to encourage more solar power development by offering a tariff rate of USD 0.08 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). That's higher than the rate for hydropower-generated electricity, which ranges from USD 0.05 to 0.06 per kWh.

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.
