“The proposed project would cover 6,279 hectares and, if approved, is expected to become a green industrial hub in northern Laos.”
“Guangxi Investment Group Co., Ltd. will serve as the main industrial investor, supporting the construction of a green aluminium base with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tonnes, and powered by up to 2,000MW of clean energy.”
“The project is expected to gradually expand into a fully integrated aluminium production and processing complex.”
“If the feasibility study yields positive results and the project goes ahead, it will benefit from grid connectivity provided by Electricite du Laos Transmission Company Limited (EDL-T), enabling integration with the Laos-China 500kV transmission network and ensuring stable electricity supply.”
“This year sees the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Laos and China and has also been designated Laos-China Friendship Year. Officials said the planned project reflects the commitment of both countries to advancing cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.”
