Hydro is already impt, generating 10% of electricity in ASEAN. Laos play an impt role to be the battery for ASEAN. There are plans for 72 dams to be built, mostly on the Mekong.
But it is plagued by environmental problems and hence protests. Esp bcos it blocks fish migration routes. Dams are huge, mostly at least 1GW capacity. Thailand buys most of this electricity.
EDF, EGAT of Thailand are involved. Banks like ADM, Eximbank (China), World Bank, Thailand's import-export bank etc are providing the financing.
