Feasibility Study of Small Hydro Power Plant for Rural Area in Houay Lai River, Salavan Province, Lao P.D.R

초록/요약

Feasibility study of small hydropower for rural area in Lao PDR is important for Laos people for devolvement in rural people to access to electricity. Lao PDR is a South Asian country surrounded by Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China. Lao PDR has a substantial small hydropower development potential. The Government has started urging private investments in small hydropower plants for domestic supply in the early 2000s. Despite various promotional schemes and measures, this thesis aims to provide policy guidance and reference to the agencies responsible for overseeing the implementation of the investment project in a small hydropower plant. Several financial, technical, procedural and institutional barriers need to be overcome to harness large small hydropower potential in Lao PDR. The study utilizes RETScreen, which is developed by Canada Institute of Natural Resources Canada and Excel for calculation the feasibility studies. All the small hydropower development is economical, technically and financially feasible, and the potential negative impact on the environment and social it can prevent and mitigate.
