BANGKOK, July 13 (Reuters) - Thai renewable energy firm BCPG
Pcl BCPG.BK on Tuesday said that its consortium had signed a
25-year agreement to deliver wind energy from a 600-megawatt
project in Laos to Vietnam.
An agreement between Vietnam's electricity firm EVN and
Impact Energy Asia Development (IEAD), of which BCPG holds a 45%
stake, will supply electricity through a 500-kilovolt
transmission line from Laos to Quảng Nam province in Vietnam.
Impact Wind Investment, backed by Japan’s Mitsubishi
Corporation 7280.T , holds a 55% stake in IEAD.
Construction on the Monsoon Wind Project will commence in
2022 with commercial operations targeted for 2025. It would be
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' largest wind farm,
BCPG said in a statement.
