El impacto

The project delivers clean energy to the Lao Power Grid, which is connected with the power grid in Thailand. This helps to meet domestic electricity demand and also increase the net power export and decrease the net power import from Thailand, where the power grid is dominated by thermal power plants. Displacing part of the power generated by thermal power plants, the project reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions. The project supports the local economy by creating job and training opportunities for locals. Also, in line with villagers requests, the project developer has constructed a temple and improved the water supply.
