The Salavan Downstream Hydropower Project (Salavan DS HPP) is more than an energy project — it is a symbol of innovation, ambition, and sustainable progress. Located on the Mekong River along the Laos-Thailand border, this project is poised to become one of the most important renewable energy undertakings in the world today.
With an impressive installed capacity of 2,448 megawatts (MW) and a forecasted annual energy generation of over 9,480 gigawatt-hours (GWh) , Salavan DS HPP represents a leap forward not only for Laos but for the entire Southeast Asian region. The project features a barrage dam design with a surface area of 196 square kilometers and a reservoir capacity of 2,050 million cubic meters of water , making it one of the largest and most efficient hydropower developments globally.
