All units of the Namkong 1 hydropower project begin operation-1

After a three day trial, the second unit of Namkong 1 hydropower project, , built by China Three Gorges Corporation, starts generating electricity on June 29, four days after the project’s first unit went online, a milestone that marks all units were operational.

The operation of the project came as China and Laos celebrated the 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations.

Located on the Namkong River, the top priority of this project is power generation and it will also be used for flood mitigation, irrigation and tourism.

With a total installed capacity of 160 megawatts, the project will generate 633 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

Upon completion, it’s expected to improve the power shortage, stabilize the southern grid and increase the employment in Laos and at the same time to push the social and economic development and improve local people's livelihood.
