Recently, an environmental panel meeting for the proposed Nam Tha 1
Hydropower project was held in the Lao's Bokeo Province. The
representatives of the Nam Tha and Bokeo Provinces who attended the
meeting reminded Chinese enterprises not to carry out long-term
alternative cultivation in the flooded areas of the proposed Nam Tha 1
hydropower project.
It is learnt that the proposed Nam Tha 1 Hydropower Station, which is
located between Nam Tha and Bokeo Provinces, has the installed
capacity of 168MW, the dam height of 93 meters, the reservoir area of
64 square kilometers, and the capacity 17.5 billion cubic meters. The
82km-long 125kV-transmission line will be erected to the capital of
Bokeo Province, Huayxai. 34 villages will have to be relocated.
