Laos to increase domestic distribution of electricity
The Laos Ministry of Energy and Mines said the domestic distribution of electricity is likely to rise to 28,886 million kilowatt-hours (kwh) by the end of 2020.
The information was shared by a ministry official at a recent annual meeting of the energy and mines sector held in the Lao capital Vientiane, local daily Vientiane Times reported on Saturday (March 7).
In 2020, the Laos government is expected to further invest in electricity infrastructure to ensure that 95% of the Laos population across the country has access to electricity, said the report.
However, coverage by the national power grid is still limited due to a lack of funding for power grid development and the isolated communities that are unreachable at various borders.
