The rapids downstream of Nannong River have been rushing for thousands of years, and now they are about to embark on a new mission. Recently, with the completion of the contract between SEDIN Engineering Co., Ltd. and VASE, the Baknong Hydropower Station project in Laos has officially landed. The signing of this EPC contract marks SEDIN Engineering Co., Ltd.'s successful breakthrough of business boundaries and its first foray into the field of hydropower engineering construction, opening a new chapter of diversified development.

First hydropower milestone

As a key clean energy project in Vientiane, Laos, the Baknong Hydropower Station is located in the downstream of the Nannong River basin with abundant water resources, and its location advantage is very significant. For a long time, China Chemical Saiding Company has been deeply involved in the chemical industry and other fields. This signing not only fills the gap in the group's hydropower sector, but also serves as a strong proof of its internationally recognized engineering comprehensive strength. The promotion of the project will closely integrate China's mature hydropower construction technology with Laos' abundant natural resources, becoming a key link in the internationalization layout of the enterprise.

Activate green new energy

The construction of the Baknong Hydropower Station will efficiently activate the high-quality hydropower resources in Laos. After the completion of the project, not only will it improve the local clean energy supply system and meet the electricity demand of Vientiane and surrounding areas, but surplus electricity will also be transmitted through cross-border networking. This will greatly alleviate the energy supply-demand contradiction in the region, reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, add a solid protective barrier to Laos' green mountains and rivers, and promote the sustainable development of the local economy and society.keywords:Southeast Asia engineering information network

Consolidate the foundation of the battery

Laos is known as the battery of Southeast Asia, and the Baknong hydropower station is an important cornerstone for consolidating this strategic positioning. The continuous operation of the project will help Laos further deepen its green and low-carbon development layout and enhance its voice in the regional energy map. The continuous supply of clean electricity will be transmitted to neighboring countries through the power grid, which not only brings considerable economic benefits, but also strengthens the interconnection between China, Laos, and ASEAN countries in the energy field, contributing to the construction of a closer regional power cooperation community.Editor/Yang Meiling
