EDF and Laos Partner to Propel Southeast Asia's Energy Transition with World-Class Pumped Storage Hydropower Project

EDF announce a new chapter in Southeast Asia's decarbonization efforts!

Together with the Government of Laos, EDF signed a memorandum of understanding to undertake the feasibility studies for a Pumped Storage Hydropower project located nearby Nam Theun 2, with an installed capacity up to 2,000 MW and 30 GWh of storage, which would rank it among the top 10 largest pumped hydro energy storage systems in the world!

This project will be able to support the shift towards renewable energy in Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore thanks to new transmission infrastructure connecting it to the neighboring grids. This project will therefore strengthen the region’s energy transition and further establish Laos as a regional energy hub.
