Monsoon Wind Power Project

The project entails a wind power project with a contracted capacity of 600-megawatt (MW) to be constructed in Lao PDR that will export and sell electricity into neighboring Viet Nam. It will be the first wind power project in Lao PDR, the largest in Southeast Asia, and the first cross-border in Asia. The project will provide a substantial source of clean renewable energy supply to Viet Nam to help meet the country's growing energy demand. The project will help unlock Lao PDR's significant untapped wind resource potential and provide social and economic benefits to the country in the form of employment, improved infrastructure, increased regional connectivity, and revenues through collection of royalties, lease payments, and taxes.
