Draft MOU and CA for Concession in Lao PDR

The Investment Promotion Department of Laos also publishes model draft concession agreements for PPP projects between private project proponents and the government of Laos. While these may need to be further adapted to particular projects, they provide useful guidance on standard terms which the government of Laos will likely require for all PPP projects (e.g. in relation to the importation of equipment and material into Laos for the project, obligations to provide local employment, environmental management and community engagement).

[Draft/Unpublished]Land Lease Agreements

Land Lease Agreements are used whenever the government owns the land of the site of a project and leases it to the operating company or concesionnaire for the period of the concession contract. In an independent power project, the Land Lease Agreement could be a stand-alone agreement, or its main provisions can also be included in the Power Purchase Agreement or Implementation Agreement.
