Quang Tri to provide more electricity for Laos

Central Quang Tri province will sell more electricity to the neighbouring Lao districts, the provincial electricity company said.

The company plans to install more transmission lines and equipments ensure supply capacity of 11 MW to the four Lao districts, in line with a joint commitment between the Electricity 3 Company under Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) and the Electricity of Laos (EDL) company.

Quang Tri has been providing electricity through two transformer stations at Lao Bao international border gate and La Lay national border gate for Laos over the past 10 years. Power sales in the first 11 months of 2008 reached 10.45 million KWh, a twofold increase as compared with previous years’ average figure.
