reduced on average annually, by a decreased reliance on fossil fuels
This project capitalises on Laos’ enormous hydropower potential to supply the surrounding region, and particularly the rural communities, with a sustainable source of clean energy. This run-of-the-river hydropower station harnesses flowing water to provide enough clean electricity for the needs of over 110,000 people in Laos each year!
By producing clean, renewable electricity, this project is reducing reliance on other unsustainable energy sources, such as fossil fuels or firewood. This cuts emissions, while allowing forests and vegetation to recover. The project also contributes to local sustainable development by providing job opportunities, improving the local infrastructure, and implementing a water supply programme for the villagers. In addition to this, a new temple has been built for the local community, respecting the religion of local residents.
