Laos - Urban electricity demand assessment study
Tilak, Jandhyala B. G.
This report presents the findings of the first study in the Lao PDR to assess the residential demand for electricity in Vientiane, the capital. Electricity exports are critical to the country's foreign exchange earnings and play a dominant role in the government's sector investment strategy. Expansion of the domestic grid is also a fundamental development goal. However, recent economic reforms have seen an unprecedented rise in the domestic demand for electricity in Vientiane and the widespread use of appliances for cooking, refrigeration, lighting and entertainment. These trends, and their corresponding downward pressure on export revenues, were key determinants in the design of the study and in the recommendations of this report.
