On September 12, Lao Prime Minister Thongloun Sisuri said the country would reconsider how it invested
in hydropower because of the damage caused by the dam failure in July.
Hydropower is seen as an important source of
revenue for Laos.
After the dam failure in July, Laos reconsidered its future hydropower plans
The Lao government suspended approval of new dams and said it would review all dams currently under construction after a hydropower project in southern Atapee province partially collapsed, killing dozens
.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum event in Hanoi, Sisuri said: "The impact of the July events is a factor
that we carefully consider in terms of hydropower production.
”
Laos will continue to study other options for renewable and clean energy generation, such as solar panels and wind turbines
.
There are reports that Laos' hydropower potential could become the "battery of Southeast Asia"
by selling electricity to neighboring countries.
In 2017, Laos had 46 hydropower stations, 54 of which were planned or under construction, and foreign electricity sales accounted for about
30% of its exports.
But Sissouli said he disagreed with the "battery" label
.
"Our capacity to develop electricity in Laos is very limited
compared to the needs of neighboring countries.
