Promotion of renewable energy for sustainable development in Laos

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study consists of a comprehensive discussion of the use of renewable energy for sustainable development in Lao PDR with a specific emphasis on the key concepts of sustainable energy. It is essential for every country to ensure that all its citizens have the ability to access affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern forms of energy to achieve the goal of sustainable development (Goal 7). The research in this report is also based on an analysis of the world’s current resources and consumption of energy, both domestic and international, including those countries in the ASEAN. The examination of sustainable energy is based on three main dimensions, namely energy security Energy fairness and environmental sustainability.
The purpose of this study is to examine the current status of Lao PDR’s energy resources and consumption and then recommend some policies to promote sustainable energy. , as well as Lao PDR’s Power Development Plan and legislation related to energy. It is argued that Lao PDR’s energy laws and policies are largely obsolete and totally inadequate to achieve its long-term goal of sustainable development. This is because the current laws and policies only focus on alternative energy, whereas energy efficiency and renewable energy are defined as the major pillars of sustainable energy.
This leads to the conclusion that Lao PDR should work to strengthen its policy goals and objectives with a view to promoting sustainable energy by implementing the key policies.
