Laos to negotiate sale of electricity to neighbours
With Laos’ electricity generation set to reach 10,000MW by 2020, the country is continuing to negotiate with neighbouring countries to increase the volume of electricity exports. According to the Ministry of Energy and Mines on 15 July, Laos will hold talks with Myanmar on electricity cooperation during the Asean Summit to be held in Vientiane in September. Office Head of the Ministry of Energy and Mines Dr Daovong Phonekeo told Vientiane Times “We will raise the issue of selling electricity to Myanmar, notably to provinces that share borders with Laos.”
