Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction has signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea Western Power to partner in developing the 728MW Phou Ngoy hydropower plant on the Mekong River in Laos.
Thai developer Charoen Energy and Water Asia signed the original 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.
In August a tri-party investment agreement was entered into with Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation.
