During the Laos YLP, participants from CLSA worked with Sunlabob Rural Energy Limited whose overall goal is to scale up its existing businesses to provide renewable energy and value-added services to remote rural communities through a commercially sustainable operation. Participants focused on a solar-powered water pumping and purification initiative and were tasked with developing a business plan for this project. The water initiative represents an exciting opportunity to harness renewable energy in the delivery of clean water – an essential basic necessity which 60% of the Lao population still lacks access to.
