Vietnam to build hydropower plant in Laos

BBC Monitoring Service - United Kingdom; Oct 29, 2001

Hanoi, 27 October: A memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the construction
of the Sekaman Hydro Electric Plant No. 3 in Laos' Sekong Province was
recently signed in Vientiane.

The MoU was reached between Vietnam's Civil Engineering Corporation 5
(CIENCO 5) and the Lao government's Management Board of Domestic and Foreign
Investment Cooperation.

The Sekaman Plant 3 is to be built on the Sekaman river in Sekong Province,
about 20 km from the Vietnam-Laos border. Initial studies suggest that the
new plant's generators will have a capacity of between 80 and 260 MW.  A
12-sq.km. reservoir with a storing capacity of 470m cu.m. and a 135m.-high
dam will be built to serve the plant. Construction of the plant is expected
to cost about 400m dollars.

Under the MoU, CIENCO 5 is assigned to conduct a feasibility study for the
project in 12 months. If approved, CIENCO 5 will be the builder of the
project.
