Laos, a key electricity exporter in Southeast Asia, has been striving to become the "Battery of Southeast Asia". Preparatory work is already underway for the second phase of the Monsoon project, which will add 1,000 MW of capacity.

In the coming five years, additional wind farms such as Savan 1 and Khang are expected to launch across Laos, bringing the total new installed capacity to around 4.4 gigawatts.

Under a 25-year power purchase agreement with Vietnam Electricity and a 28-year concession pact with the Lao government, the project illustrates deepening energy cooperation within the region.

As Laos continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio, projects like Monsoon Wind not only boost its export capabilities but also set a benchmark for cross-border green energy collaboration in ASEAN.
