Laos may export electricity to Vietnam to tackle the country's power shortage


VIENTIANE (Laotian Times): In response to the persistent power shortages in Northern Vietnam, the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) has put forth a proposal to import wind power from Laos. Currently, all domestic electricity is concentrated in southern Vietnam, leaving the north in dire need of an increased power supply.

According to Saigon Giai Phong, on 21 December, EVN called on Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) to review and present a proposal to the Prime Minister for importing electricity from the Trường Sơn Wind Power Plant in Bolikhamxay Province, Laos. The proposal includes plans for additional transmission lines to facilitate the energy transfer.
