Landlocked in the heartland of mainland Southeast Asia, Laos’ has embarked on a grand vision to become the “Battery of Southeast Asia,” ensuring economic independence and providing the region with green energy.
It has facilitated a 100 megawatts of cross-border power trade from Laos to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia, with Phase II commencing in September 2024, seeking to double capacity. For Laos, the APG has immense potential to turn it into a regional energy hub, generating new revenue, jobs, and local industry.
The Laos government has an investment plan that will aid national development and contribute to a broader green energy revolution in Southeast Asia. High debt levels and the promise of ecological destruction along the Mekong has raised concerns, and may prove prohibitive without careful engagement and regional backing.
The energy and infrastructure sectors are being promoted by the country’s Investment Promotion Department , and according to the World Bank’s Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) database , the energy and transport sectors constitute virtually all of the US$23.7bn in PPP projects in Lao PDR.
To alleviate its debt, Laos has given the joint-venture Électricité du Laos Transmission Company Ltd., which the Chinese state-owned China Southern Power Grid Company owns a majority share, a 25-year concession agreement giving it the rights to build and manage its power grid, including electricity exports rights.
