Laos reportedly intends to complete 12 new hydropower dam projects with a total capacity of 1,950 MW
in 2019.
About 80% of the electricity generated by these plants (1570 MW) will be exported to Thailand, with the rest for domestic consumption
.
Laos currently has 61 power generation facilities with a total output of 7,200 MW, including 53 hydropower plants, one thermal power plant, two alternative power stations and five solar power plants
.
Since the 90s of the 20th century, Laos has been promoting hydropower investment, turning the country into a "Southeast Asian battery" producer
.
But environmental groups and other critics say Vientiane's development approach has paid off handsomely for domestic elites, while often leaving the rural poor at the mercy of
foreign companies.
Resettlement programs and projects to create alternative livelihoods for villagers affected by dams often do not work well
, they said.
Laos has also given the green light to a series of large dams on the Mekong that have been strongly opposed
by Thai groups and communities along the river.
In July 2018, dozens of people died and thousands displaced
the wall of an auxiliary dam at the Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy power project under construction in southeastern Laos.
Back in November, a multidisciplinary team at Michigan State University published a report claiming that dams disrupted river ecology, caused deforestation, and displaced
thousands of people.
But according to Laos' Minister of Energy and Mines, a dam safety management center has been set up to prevent such disasters
