Cross-border power supply has been a pillar of Laos' economic growth. Harnessing the landlocked country's untapped wind resources can provide energy diversification as the seasonality of the wind resource is countercyclical to the rainy season, which supports the Lao hydropower generation.
During the construction, more than 1,000 local residents were employed in roles ranging from labor and management to drivers and interpreters, accounting for over 60 percent of the total workforce. Many received skills training from the project team, with some continuing to work on-site after completion, Sun said.
