Phou Ngoy hydropower plant to be developed in Laos.

 

Korea Western Power along with Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction have signed a memorandum of understanding for a partnership in the development of the 728MW Phou Ngoy hydropower plant on the Mekong River in Laos. Charoen Energy and Water Asia were also involved in the earlier agreement with the Lao People’s Democratic Republic to develop Phou Ngoy and brought in Korea Western Power as a partner. Korea Western Power is a subsidiary of Korea Electric Power. Under the Memorandum of Understanding signed on November 30, Korea Western Power and Doosan Heavy will jointly develop the Phou Ngoy hydropower plant, as well as cooperate in the local manufacturing of key equipment for hydropower plants and the development of sales routes for exporting the products.

Phou Ngoy hydropower plant will be built in Pakse, in the Southern Laos province of Champasak. The project has been estimated to cost US$2.4 billion. It is going to be constructed under a build-operate-transfer model. Under the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract, Doosan will supply the main equipment and complete the construction work. Under the contract, in January 2021, Korea Western Power and Doosan will jointly conduct a site survey, after which basic engineering will be carried out for the project. Construction of the hydropower plant in Laos will start in 2022 and will be completed by 2029.

The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Song Jae-sup, head of the planning and management division at Korea Western Power, and Park In-won, CEO of Plant EPC Business Group at Doosan. “With our recent hydropower, wind power, and hydrogen projects, Doosan Heavy’s drive to expand our green energy business is producing visible results,” Park In-won said. “To capitalize on the hydropower plant business, which is seen as a high potential market both in Korea and overseas, we plan to boost our efforts to promote the local manufacturing and engineering of key equipment and will lead the efforts to promote the green energy industry in Korea.”

Types of Hydropower Plants

                                                   There are three types of hydropower facilities: impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage. Some hydropower plants use dams and some do not. The images below show both types of hydropower plants. MPOUNDMENT The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an impoundment facility. An impoundment facility, typically a large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. The water may be released either to meet changing electricity needs or to maintain a constant reservoir level.                                                www....

Uzbekistan’s hydropower potential to boost RES energy balance with EU help

  Uzbekistan’s hydropower potential is growing, and the Central Asian country is looking to boost energy efficiency and increase renewable energy’s share in the country’s energy mix with the help of the European Union, the chairman of Uzbekistan’s state hydropower producer and developer, Uzbekhydroenergo,  Abdugani Sanginov , told New Europe in an exclusive interview. “Hydropower is a renewable energy source and, in this regard, an increase in the share of hydropower in the energy balance of the Republic of Uzbekistan will help reduce the effects of climate change,” Sanginov said, adding that the technically feasible hydropower potential of Uzbekistan is estimated at 27.4 billion kWh per year and currently only 24% of this potential is used. Asked what role the EU can play in supporting renewable energy in Uzbekistan, the Uzbekhydroenergo Chairman said, “The European Union can play an important role in supporting RES in Uzbekistan by providing grants and soft loans for the dev...
