With an investment of 441.6 million USD, Sekaman 1 is the largest hydro-electric power plant invested by Vietnam in Laos and serves as one of key projects in the two countries’ energy cooperation programme.
The BOT plant is designed to have a total capacity of 322 MW, forming part of a project which also includes the Sekaman Sanxay hydro-power plant. The two are expected to go into operation after five years of construction, generating a total 1.22 billion kWh a year.
