Laos - 老挝可再生能源报告

SPECIFIC PROJECT (3)
The EAEF (EC-ASEAN Energy Facility) Aim
Drafting renewable energy policy for Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam
Outputs
Propose the drafted renewable energy policy to the ministry concerned (MEM)
SPECIFIC PROJECT (2)
On going projects The VTCL Project (Vocational Training in Cambodia and Laos) has been carried out since December 05 in cooperation with IED (France), ETC (Netherlands) and ITC (Cambodia) with the aims to develop various short term training programs for the companies making business in rural electrification i.e. renewable energy. The training programs will focus mainly on the technical and managerial issues how to use renewable energy in the rural electrification in cost effective and efficiently manners. Technical difficulty faced (from the survey): Very low technical knowledge among the consumers Lack of managerial and technical skills of the service providers
Country Policy (2)
The implementation strategies of energy efficiency and conservation is to Improve energy efficiency and its technology in both electricity industry and commercial buildings; and Stimulate greater private sector participation. To address this, the government has set primary milestone: Establishment of Off-Grid Promotion and Support Fund based on Lao Electricity Law, and Prime Minister Degree on OPF which is to become a National Rural Electrification Fund (REF). Reshuffle the task of various ministries in dealing with energy and renewable energy

Country Policy (1)
Renewable policy: No clear cut policy, however some guide lines are given
Develop the energy taxation and subsidy policy Increase incentives to encourage the use of renewable energy through the Off-Grid Renewable Energy Promotion and Support Project Establish the Rural Electrification Fund Initiation of Renewable Energy Resource Assessment
Installing light detecting devices to switch off lights for the walk ways during the day time. Final year projects students have to use energy saving devices e.g. lamps when designing electrical systems.
