Clean energy push
Project harnesses mountain winds, cuts carbon, paves way for Laos' green vision
Financing has come from a group of regional and global lenders whose support reflects deep confidence in its technical, environmental, and economic merits. These include the Asian Development Bank, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and other agencies.
Spanning Sekong and Attapeu provinces, the project site sits at an elevation of 1,000 to 2,200 meters above the sea level and consists of 133 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 4.5 MW, said Sun Changjiang, a project manager from PowerChina Huadong Engineering Corporation.
Having reached full commercial operation in August 2025, the wind farm is expected to generate around 1.72 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and cut carbon emissions by 1.56 million metric tons, official data said.
