Monsoon Wind, Southeast Asia\u2019s largest onshore wind farm, is Laos\u2019 first wind project, and it\u2019s also the region\u2019s first cross-border wind power plant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 600-megawatt (MW) Monsoon Wind<\/a>, which is owned by Thailand-based Impact Energy Asia Development, has just kicked off construction. The site is in southeastern Laos, in the Sekong and Attapeu provinces, at an elevation of 1,200-1,600 meters (3,937-5,249 feet) above sea level. <\/p>\n

The 133-wind turbine wind farm will sell its power to state-owned Vietnam Electricity for 25 years. It will deliver the generated clean energy to central Vietnam through a 500kV transmission line. <\/p>\n

Last month, Japan\u2019s Mitsubishi Corp\u00a0said that it and other shareholders raised $692 million in financing for Monsoon Wind. According to Monsoon\u2019s website<\/a>, the total project cost is $950 million.<\/p>\n

Southeast Asia\u2019s largest onshore wind farm is scheduled to come online in 2025. Check out the project\u2019s expected impact on the region in the video below:<\/p>\n
