Laos builds 58 solar power plants to develop sustainable energy
VIENTIANE, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- A total of 58 solar power plants have been completed or under construction across Laos with a total installed capacity of 7,656 MW, local daily Vientiane
By expanding its manufacturing capacity in Laos, SolarSpace aims to meet the growing global demand for PV modules across various technology platforms. This development also holds promise for the burgeoning solar sector in Laos.
While the destination of SolarSpace's Laos-made modules remains unspecified, the establishment of a major manufacturing facility in the country marks a pivotal step in showcasing Laos as a viable destination for substantial solar investments, underlining its potential as a significant player in the global solar arena.
The news is also a positive development for the Laos solar sector. Last year, the country began construction on its first large-scale solar farm, a 50MW project in the south-east province of Attapeu, and the government has already made plans to expand its solar sector further.

Government data indicates that Laos heavily relies on hydropower, accounting for a substantial 81% of its energy demand, while all other renewables, including solar, contribute a mere 2%. As part of its sustainability goals, Laos aims to elevate the contribution of renewables to 11% by 2025.
SolarSpace now operates a total of six manufacturing facilities, with a combined annual production capacity of 35GW, and will be keen to expand its operations elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
