The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is an economic area bound together by the Mekong River. It covers 2.6m sq km, with a combined GDP of c. USD1t and a population of more than 300m. The GMS countries are Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar, Vietnam, the People’s Republic of China (PRC, specifically Yunnan Province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), and Thailand. Being one of the most dynamic areas in the world, the GMS regional market has achieved great progress in economic development and social stability for the past few decades.
Advancement of an adequate electricity supply and connectivity is required. The abundance of energy resurces combined with the lack of power generation offers immense business opportunites to invest in region’s energy sector. Conventional generation methods like thermal and hydropower, along with alternative sources like solar and wind, are all sought and carefully planned for. However, challenges in terms of power market liberalization and effiency management have yet to be addressed, leaving much discrepancy to identify ideal practices to fully tap into the potential of this land.
