Singapore-based Keppel Infrastructure Holdings Private Limited, Thailand-based Impact Electrons Siam Company Limited (IES) and China-based Envision Group have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a 1 GW wind farm in Laos. The three companies will also provide energy storage and intermittency management solutions in the region.
The parties will leverage IES’ exclusive rights to develop the 1,000 MW expansion of the 600 MW Monsoon wind farm in Laos. IES is working on this project in Sekong and Attapeu provinces, with plans to have the wind power complex up and running by 2025.
The trio envisages taking on other renewable energy projects in Laos, including solar and biomass. IES has more than 1,900 MW of wind and solar assets in development and operation in Thailand, Japan, Laos and Vietnam.
