HISTORY OF POWER SECTOR DEVELOPMENT
• Memorandum of Understanding on the power exchange
program was signed with the Royal Thai Government in
1993 and 1996 under which 3,000 MW is to be supplied
to Thailand and subsequently increased 7,000 MW is
agreed;
• In 1998 and 2006 MOUs were signed with the
Government of Vietnam for 3000 MW and subsequently
5000 MW is agreed;
• In 1999 Agreement on Cooperation in Power Sector was
signed with Cambodia;
• Power Sector Strategy is being developed and updated
from time to time;
• Power sector opened to private foreign direct
investments;
• Legal framework has been improved from time to time
to meet international financing requirements.
POWER SECTOR POLICY
• Maintain and expand affordable, reliable and sustainable
electricity supply to promote economic and social
development;
• Promote power exports as well as domestic power supply to
earn revenues to meet Government development objectives
with particular emphasis on poverty eradication;
• Develop and enhance the legal and regulatory framework to
facilitate power sector development by either public, private or
public private partnership;
• Gain capacity building through international technical knowhow and expertise;
• Ensure accountability and transparency of environmental and
social impacts and thereby achieve sustainable development
OBJECTIVES OF POWER SECTOR
DEVELOPMENT
• Provide a source of foreign exchange to fund economic
and social development and alleviate poverty;
• Meet the commitments under intergovernmental MOUs
and Agreements with Thailand, Vietnam and others;
• Extend rural electrification to promote better socioeconomic development and reach the government
target of 70% and 90% by year 2010 and 2020
respectively;
• Integrate power sector and maintain its economic
development as a whole with international
communities trough its power exchange programs and
foreign direct investment.
