nValid Precision Engineering Pte. Ltd. has executed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Électricité du Laos to deploy the SAPP Solar Power Project, the first utility scale solar PV power plant in Lao PDR. The SAPP project is located in the southern Lao province of Attapeu and will have an installed capacity of up to 76 MWp, with a total electricity generation of approximately 128 Gwh per year for a term of 30 years through a 115 kV transmission line from the power plant to the Saphaothong substation.
The execution of the concession agreement and pre-planning permitting requirements of the SAPP Project is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter this year, followed by full project construction in 2021. The renewable power generated from 50 MW of solar power capacity of the SAPP Project will result in a reduction of CO2 emissions of approximately 47,900 Tons per year.
