Nam Ngiep is pronounced like "Nam Nyiep".

Nam Ngiep 2A project is located near Sai Nam Ngiep, Xieng Khong Village, Tha Thom District, Xaysomboun Province, Lao PDR.

Nam Ngiep 2A dam construction site is located at coordinates - 19°09'12.7"N 103°20'41.4"E (19.153525, 103.344836) as shown in the satellite image below:

The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the project was Chongqing Water Turbine Works Co., Ltd (CWTW) from China.

The project installed capacity is 10.5 MW from 3 Vertical Francis turbine-generator sets of 3.5 MW each with annual output potential of 52 GWh.

The dam is constructed of reinforced concrete with a drainage gate.

The project water catchment area is 878 square kilometers.

At the end of 2021 it seems construction of the project had been halted due to Covid-related issues and not restarted as of 2023.

Nam Ngiep 2 dam site is slightly downriver and close to Nam Ngiep 2B hydropower project site - both are seen in satellite image below:
