Convalt’s Attapeu project website traces development of a proposed 250 MW AC solar plant in southern Laos to 2016. It describes completed site-survey work undertaken with DigiCollect and a feasibility-study program supporting project preparation.
Studies and project preparation
The records state that inception and quarterly reports were submitted to the Lao government in January 2018. A third feasibility-study issue followed in November 2018, four months ahead of the agreed schedule, and received interim approval.
Preparing for contractor engagement
The site-survey report was intended for prospective EPC contractors to support the tendering process. The project website also includes fieldwork images and copies of feasibility, progress and approval documents.
Recorded approvals and next steps
The project register lists feasibility certificates approved in December 2017 and environmental compliance completed in December 2018. It records the project development agreement as approved pending signature, with power purchase, tariff and concession agreements still pending at the stage described.
