Lao PDR: Rural Electrification Phase II (World Bank, GEF: $2 million; Total Cost: $36.6 million) This project aims to support Lao in achieving (i) in- creased efficiency of energy supply by Eel (Electric- ite du Laos) and consumption by customers; and (ii) substantial adoption of renewable energy in the government’s rural electrification program, together resulting in GHG emission reductions as increased hydropower exports to and reduced electricity im- port from Thailand, which substitute or reduce thermal power production in Thailand.
