Laos will have two new hydropower plants every year


(KPL) Director General of the Electricite du Laos (EDL) Khammany Inthirath has said at a press briefing that the country will build at least two hydro power plants every year until 2020.

To date, the country has a total of 14 hydro power plants with a combined capacity of 2,540MW over 10 plants with a total capacity of 700 MW in 2006.

As planned, the Nam Ngum 2 hydro power plant will come into operation in December this year. While Tard Salen (Savannakhet), Nam Ngum 3 ( Vientiane province) and Sekaman 3 (Sekong province) will start operation next year. The country will have two other power plants, Nam Song in Vientiane province and the expanded Theun-Hinboun in Borikhamsay province in 2012.

Meanwhile, the construction of a 1,800MW Hongsa thermal power plant in northwestern Sayaboury province will be completed in 2015.

The Government of Laos has planned to make the country a power generation hub of the region.

Together with developing hydro power projects, the government has also paid due attention to environment protection, especially forest and water resources.

    I can't wonder why they don't just keep the electricity and let the factories come to them.

    And I wonder how much money Laos actually gets after the cost of the power pland is deducted?

    Their are some Siam people said bad thing about Laos. If they are Red Shirts (Isann)they won't say that. Go ahead build more hydropowers and don't forget to raise more fish and build irrigation systems for our farmers. I hope lao people will pay cheap electricity or free in the next future! congratulation!
