The deputy general manager of Dujiang Group of China and the China Energy Construction Group Northwest Power Construction Gansu Engineering Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Guoxin Engineering Management Co., Ltd. will be invited by the Lao Government and the Lao National Energy and Minerals Department to visit from February 22 to 28, 2019. Lao People's Democratic Republic.

Laos is a country with a sparsely populated country with a relatively large land area and relatively developed water resources. Laos' economy is relatively backward and its industrial structure is single. A large number of industrial raw materials, capital goods and living materials are basically dependent on foreign imports. The per capita GDP is only 1,203 US dollars as of 2011, which is one of the least developed countries in the world. However, in recent years, the Lao government has increased its opening to the outside world, accelerated economic adjustment and development, and despite the pressure from the external environment, it has maintained an average annual economic growth rate of 8%, and is listed as "the 10 countries with the fastest growing world economy." One".

The Mekong River is Asia's most important transnational water system, and it is rich in electricity and energy, but its current utilization rate is extremely low. According to estimates by the Asian Development Bank, the Mekong River has about 18,000 megawatts of electricity stored in the river section of Laos, with a utilization rate of less than 4%. Therefore, as long as Laos is governing and developing the Mekong River, it is expected to become a “generation generator in Southeast Asia” and thereby enhance its political and economic status in Southeast Asia. According to the survey of Laos electric power survey and design department, the total hydropower resources in Laos is about 30 million kilowatts, and the total developable capacity is about 23.47 million kilowatts. The 12.25 million kilowatts of the mainstream of the Mekong River accounts for about the total amount of technology developed in the country. 52.2%, while the tributaries of the Mekong River and other tributaries are about 11.22 million kilowatts, accounting for 47.3% of the total national technology development.

The Lao government attaches great importance to the development and utilization of hydropower resources. After years of hydropower project construction and development, it now has a certain power output capability. According to government agreements between ASEAN countries, the Lao government has signed long-term power supply agreements with governments in neighboring countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. To this end, the Lao government plans to invest and finance billions of dollars to accelerate the construction of its own power transmission and transformation network.
