UPC Renewable Energy and NASENG-WAYO Renewable Resource Development and Investment will launch a feasibility study for a planned wind farm and a 500 kV substation for electricity transmission in Savannakhet, Laos. The substation will transmit the renewable energy generated to neighbouring countries and will connect to the ASEAN electricity grid.
The project is being funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
