Laos smart grid power distribution system

Public Disclosure Authorized

The project aims to help improve efficiency and reliability of power distribution in the selected load areas served by Electricité du Laos (EDL). This is achieved through the following components: • Smart metering, distribution improvement and distribution losses reduction

LAO PDR Power Grid Improvement Project

The main challenges are inefficient transmission and distribution networks – on average, 13 percent of the supply is lost during distribution – and the lack of a nationally connected power transmission grid. In parts of Laos, such as large urban areas where demand can outstrip supply, electricity supply can be unreliable during peak periods.

Implementation Completion and Results Report (ICR)

High distribution system losses and uneven levels of service reliability persisted in the context of fast growth of domestic electric demand. Problems were particularly evident in fast-growing major urban load centers. In response, EDL began implementation of the Power Distribution System Rehabilitation (PDSR) Program in 2013.
