Figure 3.2 shows Lao PDR's installed power generation capacity and available power generation capacity above 1 MW. Hydropower plants account for 94% of the installed capacity of power plants in the electricity system for domestic supply.
Integration of the Electricity System To efectively supply Lao PDR-generated electricity domestically and for export to neighbouring countries without any surplus, the power system for domestic supply should be integrated and operated with dedicated transmission lines for export.
The business of selling electricity in Lao PDR is regulated by the Electricity Law, with one state-owned company – EDL – selling domestic electricity. EDL procures the electricity that it sells from IPPs and EDL-Gen, the domestic power producers.
The power sector in Lao PDR is governed by MEM. The power system generators for domestic supply are the IPPs and EDL-Generation Public Company (EDL-Gen). The domestic transmission and distribution company (i.e. 115-kV and distribution lines) is EDL, and the domestic transmission company (i.e. 500-kV and 230-kV lines) is EDL-T.
