Electricity imported from Lao PDR under the Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project is generated by existing hydropower plants which have undergone environment impact assessments. Results from these assessments had been reviewed by the Lao PDR government before the projects were allowed to proceed. Government agencies in Lao PDR also undertake regular monitoring to ensure compliance with the safeguards and mitigation measures. Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said this in reply to an MP’s question in Parliament on Monday (Mar 20).
