CGN Begins Work on Laos'' First Large-Scale Solar Power Project
Construction has commenced on the first phase of the one-million-kilowatt photovoltaic project at China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN)''s clean energy base in northern Laos. In
In what is the first large-scale solar photovoltaic project in Laos, CGN will collaborate with more than 70 Chinese and Laotian enterprises to establish a benchmark for electricity cooperation under the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation framework. The clean energy base is a vital power source supporting China-Laos power interconnection.
The clean energy produced will be transmitted to Yunnan province in China via the China-Laos 500kV grid, supporting Yunnan's energy transition and power supply security. Laos is currently at a critical stage of its energy transition.
The project in Oudomxay province exemplifies the success of China-Laos cooperation. Beyond energy production, the project will drive improvements in local infrastructure, including roads, education, water supply and community facilities, while creating stable employment opportunities.
In addition to contributing to Laos' economic development, CGN is committed to sharing the benefits with local communities. CGN has implemented initiatives such as vocational training, educational support, community building, medical assistance, and agricultural aid to address urgent local needs and improve living standards.
