Forty-eight wind turbines belonging to the Savan 1 Wind Power Plant, a renewable energy project in Laos, invested in and developed by Vietnam's T&T Group, officially entered commercial operation on December 26, delivering clean energy to Vietnam with a total capacity of 300 MW, according to a report by the Government News.
Located in Savannakhet Province, Laos, Savan 1 is the largest onshore wind project invested in by T&T Group to date, marking the conglomerate's inaugural step in its cross-border energy strategy.
With a total planned capacity of 495 MW and a total investment of approximately $768 million, the project is expected to become a flagship renewable energy venture symbolizing the energy cooperation between Vietnam and Laos.
The Lao Ministry of Planning and Investment awarded the concession contract for the project to T&T Group in January 2025. Under this agreement, the Government of Laos authorized Savan 1 Wind Power Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of T&T Group) to design, build, own, and operate the project for a 25-year term to export and sell electricity to Vietnam.
Phase 1 of the project, which has now reached commercial operation, features an installed capacity of 300 MW with a total investment exceeding $490 million.
Previously, in August 2024, the Prime Minister of Vietnam approved the policy to import electricity from the Savan 1 project. The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between Savan 1 Wind Power Co., Ltd. and Vietnam Electricity (EVN) was also officially signed, providing the legal framework to integrate the project's output into Vietnam’s national power grid.
