With 80% of its electricity already coming from renewables (mostly hydropower), Laos is now betting big on energy storage solutions to juice up its regional influence. But how did this landlocked nation become the dark horse of clean energy? Let's plug into the details. While Laos currently.
Recent blackouts during the 2024 dry season exposed vulnerabilities in Laos' energy infrastructure, pushing storage technologies from theoretical discussions to national priority. Laos' current energy profile reveals critical dependencies: Wait, no – that last figure actually increased to 35% in Q1. Does Lao PDR need alternative policy scenarios?This study aims to forecast energy supply and demand in Lao PDR from 2020 to 2050 and to determine the country’s potential for energy savings and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission reduction, improved energy eficiency, and feasible renewable development if Lao PDR uses or implements certain alternative policy scenarios (APSs).
How much energy does Lao PDR have?Source: The Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Department of Energy Policy and Planning (2019), Lao Energy Balance Table Collection Historical. 14 December. In 2019, Lao PDR’s total primary energy supply (TPES) was 5.9 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe), and the energy mix consisted of hydropower, oil, coal, solar and biomass.
What is the Energy Outlook for Lao PDR?Source: The Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Department of Energy Policy and Planning (2019), Lao PDR Energy Outlook Result (Lao PDR_Template_BAU_APS_LCET August 2022). The primary energy intensity is also expected to decline from 341 toe/million US$ in 2019 to 231 toe/million US$ by 2050.
How much oil is in Lao Mtoe?Source: The Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Department of Energy Policy and Planning (2019), Lao PDR Energy Outlook Result (Lao PDR_Template_BAU_APS_LCET August 2022). Mtoe = million tonnes of oil equivalent.
How much electricity does Lao PDR export?As there were many power plants in Lao PDR generating electricity for export in 2019, the export figure reached 25,048 gigawatt-hours (GWh) or equivalent to 2.15 Mtoe. This amounted to more than half of all electricity consumed in the country and 77% of total hydropower generation.
What should the government do about energy eficiency in Lao PDR?Finally, the government should consider implementing the following actions: Promote and implement energy eficiency and conservation programmes in all sectors. Establish a fund to support energy eficiency and conservation programmes and energy service companies. emissions. Include the findings of this study in Lao PDR’s energy policy and pl
