Thus, electricity generated in Lao PDR can be supplied domestically as well as exported to neighbouring countries. The power transmission system of Lao PDR is divided into two types of transmission lines – one for domestic supply and one for export, where power plants are directly connected to neighbouring countries.
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.
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.
The power transmission system of Lao PDR is divided into two types of transmission lines – one for domestic supply and one for export, where power plants are directly connected to neighbouring countries. Each is not connected to the other within the borders of Lao PDR. The voltage classes are 500 kilovolts (kV), 230 kV, and 115 kV.
