Hydropower

The Company is currently studying the feasibility of developing hydropower projects on the Mekong River Basin in the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) in accordance with the power purchase MOU between Thailand and the Lao PDR. The hydropower projects under study are run-of-the-river type or water-flowing dam where large reservoirs are not built. It uses the natural flow of water to generate electricity, making the amount of water inlet equal to the water flowing out and therefore has no impact to the environment.
