As the update for the ASEAN Electrical Tariff 2011, please find the Electricity Tariff in Lao on the table below. It’s very interesting to see how the tariff in lower and middle Residential class were rose on average 15% and 3% ever year, respectively while upper class stay the same.
Even better, the electrical tariff for industry is declined.

Around 160.3 million people in Southeast Asia haven’t had any access to electricity and almost 80% of them live in rural and remote areas.
Rural electrification is the process of bringing electricity to rural and remote areas. Electricity is being used not only for lighting and household purposes, but it also allows people to perform mechanization of many farming operations, such as threshing, milking, and hoisting grain for storage; in areas facing labor shortages, it resulted greater productivity at lower cost.
Energy alone is insufficient to maintain economic growth, but it is certainly necessary and access to electricity is one of the clearest and undistorted indications of a country’s energy poverty status.
Southeast Asia has made dramatic efforts in increasing the electrification rates in both rural and urban areas with an electrification rate jumping from 42.8% to 60.2% in only 6 years. Singapore led the progress by reaching full electrification of 100%, followed by Brunei Darussalam (99.7%), Malaysia (99.4%), Thailand (99.3%), and Vietnam (89.30%). However, Myanmar still stays at very low rate of 13%, Cambodia at 24% and Indonesia alone has more than 80 million people without access to electricity. In total, there are still 160.3 million people in the region has no access to electricity and almost 80% of them live in rural and remote areas.

Still talking about Energy Prices, please download the ASEAN Electricity Tariff 2011 for the complete list of electrical tariff in every ASEAN Member Country, in Residential sector, Commercial sector and Industrial Sector.
This data, along with the ASEAN Petroleum Prices 2011, that I posted last week, are part of my study on the ASEAN Energy Prices. Perhaps that I can publish it on the mid of this year.
In the begining of March, I will have a workshop in Chiang Mai, Thailand, discuss about the ASEAN Fuel Policy for Power Generation, joint workshop by ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and Ministry of Energy Thailand under Regional Energy Policy and Planning – Sub Sector Network Program. I hope this workshop can also give inputs for my study.
But for now, enjoy the data.

I have published my note on energy price in December 2010. The data on petroleum product were extracted from International Fuel Prices 2009 – GTZ.
As now I am working on the paper of ASEAN Energy Prices, I am pleased to share you the data of Petroleum prices in ASEAN that I get from various source. Of course, this is not the most update data as you know that the oil price is going up now due to Egypt unrest.
But it might be useful for your reference.
