Laos Energy Security (LES) is a part of the U.S. Government’s initiative: “Enhancing Development and Growth through Energy” (CLEAN EDGE Asia). CLEAN EDGE Asia supports expanded access to energy, promotes energy diversification and trade and integration of clean energy markets, and strengthens energy security throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
USAID Laos Energy Security, a five-year activity funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), supports the Government of Laos (GOL)’ efforts to improve the planning, policies, and performance of the Lao energy sector.

Coal is below the target at 14% of the share in the National Power Development Strategy (NPDS), but it is good for Lao PDR because it reduces CO emissions. Other sources (solar, wind, and other forms of energy sources) have surpassed their target at 11% due to fuel switching.
Thus, coal demand increased sharply from 2015 onwards. Due to its geographic advantages, including its many rivers, Lao PDR is rich in hydropower resources. According to the Mekong River Commission Study in 1995, Lao PDR’s potential hydropower resources total 26,000 megawatts (MW).

Under the direction of the national “Guiding Opinions on Promoting Energy Storage Technology and Industry Development” policy, the development of energy storage in China over the past five years has entered the fast track.
Among them, Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) accounted for the largest proportion of the total installed capacity of energy storage in China, close to 99%, followed by electrochemical energy storage that is being rapidly developed in recent years.
Even though several reviews of energy storage technologies have been published, there are still some gaps that need to be filled, including: a) the development of energy storage in China; b) role of energy storage in different application scenarios of the power system; c) analysis and discussion on the business model of energy storage in China.
It also introduces the application scenarios of energy storage on the power generation side, transmission and distribution side, user side and microgrid of the power system in detail. Section 3 introduces six business models of energy storage in China and analyzes their practical applications.
Second, there is still a lack of effective market mechanisms in energy storage industry. At present, the application of energy storage in China is mainly distributed power generation and grid connection of micro-grid and renewable energy. There were few applications of power transmission and distribution and auxiliary services.
While it is true that the development of China's energy storage industry has moved from a technical verification stage to a new stage of early commercialization, the industry still faces many challenges which hinder development, and true "industrialization" has not yet materialized.
