“We have to use our natural resources to bring more prosperity,” he said, adding that hydropower development has also “helped directly” to increase the electrification rate from about 30 per cent before 2000 to about 95 per cent of households.
The country’s National Assembly has approved a strategy of deriving 75 per cent of electricity from hydropower and 14 per cent from coal by 2025, with the remainder coming from sources like solar and biomass, he said.
On why coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, has crept into the energy mix — only since 2015 — he said: “We don’t have any oil, any gas, but we have quite a large amount of coal.
“It’ll help to stabilise the (electricity) supply.”
During the dry season, when Laos experiences an energy deficit, it buys back what it has exported to Thailand. But this is at about twice the initial sale price, which does not make economic sense, said Lee.
