The Monsoon Wind Power Company Limited (MWPCL) has commissioned the 600 MW Monsoon Wind Power Project in Asia.
The project is located across the Dak Cheung District of Sekong Province and the Sanxay District of Attapeu Province in Laos and comprises 133 wind turbines. The energy generated is transmitted through four 115 kV substations, stepped up to 500 kV at the project substation and carried along a 27-kilometre high-voltage transmission line to the Lao–Vietnam border. It connects to Vietnam’s 500 kV transmission system and continues for another 44 kilometres to Vietnam Electricity’s Thanh My substation. The project was initiated by Impact Electrons Siam and is developed and operated by MWPCL.
