Laos’ Luang Prabang dam reaches key development stage
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – The Luang Prabang hydropower project has reached another key development stage after the government asked the Mekong River Commission (MRC) to host the prior consultation on the project.
The government authorised the Vietnam Petro Power Corporation to build the Luang Prabang hydro plant in 2007. As the dam will be located in the Mekong mainstream, the government must request the MRC to hold a prior consultation on the project under the 1995 Mekong Agreement.
