The Demand-Side Management / Energy Efficiency (DSM/EE) Project, implemented by Electricite du Laos (EdL) is a component under the Rural Electrification APL Phase I Project (REP I) which was established to increase access to electricity of rural households in the central and southern provinces of Lao PDR. REP I Project is funded by the World Bank/GEF.
The DSM/EE project will initially be implemented in 2 phases - Phase I (2007 - 2010) and Phase II (2010 - 2012). The overall objectives of Phase I are to determine reasonable energy consumption levels for the major energy-consuming Ministries/agencies and to address the issue of inefficient practices in public sector electricity consumption. These inefficiencies in public sector electricity consumption have direct fiscal and financial impacts on EdL because of the poor payment record of GOL departments. Saving domestic electricity consumption also enables Lao PDR to generate more revenues from electricity exports.
