A MOU exists between both countries to aim for a total export of 9000 MW from Laos to Thailand by 2030, however exact projects to faciliate these numbers have not been been specificied. The JICA report indicates that Thailand's autorities expect an increase in import of 700 MW every two years from all neighbouring countries combined (but not exactly how much from Laos). Furthermore, complicating factors such as ecology concerns affect the speed at which new hydro developments (and resulting imports) can be commissioned. Thailand's Power Purchase Plan 2023 which should be released soon might pr
