Nam Yeuang Dams Hydropower by Hobo Maps- Go to Hydropower Projects Page - - Home
The Nam Yeuang cascade hydropower project is a collection of six projects along the Nam Yeuang river in Houaphan province Lao PDR close to the Vietnam border.
Nam Yeuang Hydropower project general location shown in satellite images below:
The 84 MW project is being developed by Lao-based Phongsubthavy Group and all six plants are planned to be developed in a single phase.
In year 2022 the project was in the planning and permitting stage. Construction may commence in 2023 and the projects are expected to enter into commercial operation in 2025.
A Memorandum of Understanding for a Power Purchase Agreement was signed December 2020 between Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) and Phongsubthavy Group regarding the development of the Nam Yeuang Hydropower Project cluster in which EVN agreed to offtake all power from the 84 MW cluster and import it into Vietnam starting in 2024-2025.
The six separate hydropower sites were originally expected to have the capacities listed below but some may have changed a bit since this list totals more than the 84 MW total reported later.
1A (14.5 MW)
1B (15 MW)
2A (14 MW)
2B (15 MW)
3A (15 MW)
3B (13.4 MW)

Google Maps shows the locations of all six Nam Yeuang power project locations below but doesn't detail the precise coordinates:
Various news reports in June, 2021 reported that Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has executed power purchase contracts with a series of hydropower plant investors in Laos. Specifically, EVN exchanged power purchase contracts with Phongsubthavy Group for the Nam Yeuang hydropower plant cluster, the Nam Mo 2 project, Nam Tai, Nam Sak, Nam Sao and Nam Chao hydroelectric plants.
Not sure the route for transmission line yet but Nam Yeuang cluster is close to the Nam Sam hydropower group which exports power to Nong Cong in Vietnam. Map below shows our best guess where the transmission line may be. See enlarged map version HERE.
