Xekong 3A and 3B Hydropower projects on this web page are being developed by Laos-based Asia Investment and Development Co. Ltd. The dams are proposed to be located on the Xekong (Sekong) river in southern Lao PDR,

Both 3A & 3B projects apparently are under construction in 2024.

The power output is expected to be transmitted and sold to Electricity Vietnam (EVN).

The developers entered into a Project Development Agreement with the Lao government on 30 May 2018.

As far as we know, a long-term concession contract with the Lao government has not yet been signed.

Xekong 3A is designed for 140 MW electrical output capacity while Xekong 3B is to be 146.7 MW capacity.
