Southern Laos

Monsoon wind power project is a 600 MW wind power project located at an elevation of 1,200-1,600 m above sea level and is hilly with limited forest and currently limited land use in the Sekong and Attapeu provinces in Southern Laos. The project will deliver the generated renewable energy to Central Vietnam through its 500kV transmission line.

The project was officially nominated by the Government of Lao PDR to the Ministry of Industry and Trades of Vietnam in July 2017 under a collaboration in the energy sector between Laos and Vietnam, making it the first renewable energy project being offered cross border in ASEAN. On 21 July 2020, the Prime Minister of Vietnam approved the plan for importing power generated from the project to Vietnam’s power system via a 500kV grid connection and approved the addition of a 500kV transmission line from the project to the Thanh My Substation to the Revised Power Development Plan VII of Vietnam. The Power Purchase Agreement was successfully executed with Vietnam Electricity on 12 July 2021 and the commercial operation date is targeted for the end of 2025.
