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.
Laos is undergoing rapid socio-economic changes and the provision of sufficient energy is an important factor in the response to continuing development. "Given recent advances in solar energy in Laos, it has become clear that more and more local and foreign businesses are interested in investing in this field," Daovong said.
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.
Of this amount, 77.59 percent will come from hydropower and the rest will come from solar, wind and coal-fired power plants, said the report. Laos' capacity for solar power is expected to range from 10,000 MW to 15,000 MW, while wind power potential is estimated at about 100,000 MW, according to the report. ■
