Nam Ngiep 2B Dam Hydropower info by Hobo Maps - Go to Hydropower Projects Page - - - HOME

Nam Ngiep 2B Hydropower project is part of Nam Ngiep 2ABC Hydropower project (2A, 2B & 2C). Lao-based Nonghai Group Co. Ltd. is developing several hydropower sites in northern Lao PDR southeast of the Plain of Jars area and another in Kham District. Their website has images of ongoing construction of these sites but very little text in English. Their Facebook page is HERE .

Also see Facebook page with images of construction of these sites created by Lao workers on the projects. These sites have mixed info from other projects and give incomplete details with very little in English - HERE .

Nam Ngiep is pronounced like "Nam Nyiep".

Image below shows Nam Ngiep 2B hydropower project construction site at coordinates - 19°09'20.9"N 103°20'46.6"E (19.155809, 103.346280). Also shown is Nam Ngiep 2A site a little downriver.

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 18 MW from 3 horizontal axis Francis turbine-generator sets of 6 MW each with annual output potential of 76 GWh.

The project was finished and commissioned on 31 January 2018 and is currently in operation.

The dam structure is constructed of reinforced concrete with drainage gates.

The project water catchment area is 878 square kilometers.
