POLICY• The promotion and development of renewable energies is one of the
priority policies of the Government to stabilize energy supply and to assist in the social and economic improvement of the country.
• Promote sustainable renewable energy development as an important part of ensuring energy supply for social and economic development
• Provide financial incentives to investors who aim to produce clean energies to meet domestic demand and, who take socially and environmental corporate responsibility in order to increase investments in renewable energy projects
• Formulate and improve laws and regulations to facilitate renewable energy development
![Page 4: The Current Policy and Investment Oppertunity in LAOs](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051223/577cc7ab1a28aba711a19bd8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
POLICY• Prioritization of policies which facilitate private sector investments in rural
electrification such as provision of incentives and financing,
• Development of small hydropower systems, biofuels, solar and biomass energy at the village level to provide electricity and energy to rural and remote communities.
• Generation of electricity for productive uses at the village level using waste materials from agriculture, biogas, hydropower or other local resources. People in rural areas will be encouraged to use renewable energy to enhance self-sufficiency and the GoL will seek cooperation with private sector, NGO and development partners to encourage investment support for processing equipment and necessary machinery adjustments.

Financial Incentive for Investors
Renewable Energy Strategy Development (2011-2025)
Develop and Modify Legal documents (laws,
regulations and guidelines)Target: increase RE use to 30 % of national demand by 2025 (bio-fuel production to account 10 %)
STRATEGICAL TARGETObjective: Ensure energy security, sustain socio-economic development, and enhance environmental andsocial sustainability
Biomass
• Establish Renewable Energy Fund• Financial Mechanism:- Import duty free on production machinery, equipment and raw materials- Import duty free on chemical materials necessary for biofuels production within 7 years- Profit tax is divided in to 3 categories: 20%, 15% and 10%. Profit tax exemption is possible for a certain period dependingon activities, investment areas and size investment• Subsidies on unit product price depending on energy type and times period
Support Mechanism

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES (3)
Energy crops Fuel crops plantation for biofuels production has also progressed,
especially Jatropha, Vernicia Montana, Palm, Sugarcane, Cassava plantation.
Organic wastes: Agriculture-Forestry production, By-products of agro-forestry
industry (sawdust, wood chips, rice husk, corn cobs, livestock manures...) and municipal wastes
Production of biomass, biogas for household use and industrial purposes at community level.

INCNETIVES
The Government will provide financial incentives and financing assistance to renewable energy projects and investors. Financial Incentives– Import duty free on production machinery, equipment and raw
materials;– Import duty free on chemical materials necessary for biofuels
production within 7 years;– Profit tax is divided in to 3 categories: 20%, 15% and 10%. Profit tax
exemption is possible for a certain period depending on activities, investment areas and size investment;
– Subsidies on unit product price depending on energy type and times period.

INCENTIVES
• The government has policies to support renewable energy, especially financial measures which include:– Subsidizing tariffs (FIT IS UNDER STUDY)– Project Condition basic, project by project– The government is responsible for basic
infrastructures to accommodate the expansion of renewable energy such as: transmission line systems
![Page 24: The Current Policy and Investment Oppertunity in LAOs](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051223/577cc7ab1a28aba711a19bd8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
CHALLENGES
• Lack of regulations and laws on renewable energies
• Limited knowledge and understanding on various aspects of renewable energies
• Limited number of people with strong knowledge of renewable energy technologies as well as limited access to equipment and supply of materials for projects
• Lack of public funding for the renewable energy sector. Limited budget allocated for research and development.
• Lack of information concerning off-take tariffs which represent significant financial risk for investors.
• Lack of information on renewable energy potential for each province
