Transmission lines of the China-Laos 500-kilovolt power interconnection project were fully connected on Thursday, marking a key milestone ahead of its planned full operation in April and
The system will include a new 500-kilovolt substation in Namor district, Oudomxay Province, linking to Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, China, via a 183.5 km cross-border transmission line.
The Hongsa Thermal Power Station is an 1,878MW coal-fired power station in Hongsa District, Sainyabuli Province. It is a "mine mouth" facility, fueled by lignite from an adjacent mine.
It is the first in Laos, the largest single-unit wind power project in Southeast Asia, and the first cross-border (Vietnam-Laos) new energy transmission project in Asia.
The Laos Monsoon 600 MW Wind Power Project, led by POWERCHINA, successfully energized its 500 kV booster station and two 115 kV booster stations in February. The project, the
