  1. Policy and Measures on Energy Efficiency and Conservation in Lao PDR By: Houmphan Vongphachan , Deputy chief of Electric Power Management Division Department of Electricity Ministry of Energy and Mines Singapore, June 2007

  2. Outline • General situation of Energy Consumption in the country • The necessity for developing Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Past Activities on Energy Efficiency and Conservation • The difficulties and Challenges for promoting Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Plan for Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Draft Policy on Energy Efficiency and Conservation

  3. General situation of Energy Consumption in the country • Electricity: 164.5 GWh consumed in1990 & 1.011 GWh consumed in 2005 increased 5.5 times; Import also increased: 14,048,316 US$ (2005) Import price in some places is higher than those sell to customers • Biggest electric consumers: Residential: 50.4% & Industrial: 23.4%; • Oil and Gas: 318 mill. liters (2000), 390 mill.liters (2004), 106.7 mill.US$ spent for import in 2001

  4. The necessity for developing Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Decrease the energy import; • Promoting sustainable use of natural resource and protecting the environment; • Reducing capital or spending on energy in doing work, business, service & etc aiming at ability with international competition; • Raising public awareness and providing information on economic, correct and efficient use of energy; • Making energy consumption in the country controllable by the government.

  5. Past Activities on Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Cooperation with ASEAN since 2003 to now; • Projects by Electricite du Laos 2004; • DANIDA projects 2000-2003; • Others:

  6. Cooperation with ASEAN • Project entitle: PROMOTION of Energy Efficiency and Conservation (PROMEEC) cooperation of ASEAN and Japan; • The project covers: Building, Industry and Energy Management; • Project’s objective: training (class room and on the job training) on EEC, Establishing Technical Directory and EEC database; around 100 officials attending the trainings including the training in Japan.

  7. Cooperation with ASEAN (cont’) • Conducted energy audits in Nam Ngum hydropower plant (2002) & Aphonelao garment factory (2004), Lao Plaza hotel (2004), Lane Xang hotel & Don Chan Palace (2005) • Participating in AEAN competition awards on EE&C Buildings; • Holding 4 seminars in the country on EE&C;

  8. Projects by Electricite du Laos • Project on Demand Side Management or DSM) supported by World Bank: study on DSM potential, study tours in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia; • Public campaign on electricity saving; • Study on Electricity lost: Technical and Commercial lost.

  9. DANIDA projects • National Capacity Strengthening: providing 4 trainings in Energy Audit for Building and Industry

  10. Others • Lao Women Union: Producing information brochures on Energy Saving and using Efficient Stoves; • Science, Technology and Environment Agency: training on EE&C for officials of Department of Electricity; • National University of Laos: Conducting Seminars on EE&C.

  11. The difficulties and Challenges for promoting Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Responsible agency has lack of staff, experience and expertise; • Public awareness and participating willingness on EE&C are still low; • Majority of energy consumers lack knowledge of correct and efficient use of energy; • Efficient equipment is expensive which most people cannot afford and do not know about efficient equipment; • No existing agency directly responsible for EE&C • Public campaign on EE&C is limited.

  12. Plan for Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Establishing policy on EE&C; • Establishing decree and guidelines on EE&C; • Establishing agency responsible for EE&C; • Disseminating and campaign EE&C;

  13. Draft Policy on Energy Efficiency and Conservation • Establishment of agency responsible for EE&C in Ministry of Energy and Mines • Setting up the plan targeting to government offices in reducing energy consumption by 10% in the period of 2006-2007; • Establishment of legal documents: Decree, Guidelines and rules on EE&C; • Proposing all sectors to have plans and measures for reducing energy consumption.

  14. Draft Policy on Energy Efficiency and Conservation (cont’) • Proposing large sectors to have energy officers to be responsible for managing energy consumption and EE&C; • Proposing large sectors to collect and report on energy situation to Ministry of energy and Mines; • Promoting ESCOs.
