Background

In December 2020, it was reported that Vietnam's state-owned power company Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) had signed agreements to buy power from Laotian companies, including Phongsubthavy Group. Phongsubthavy Group was reportedly developing a 300 MW Nam Phan coal-fired power project in Laos. It was expected to start supplying electricity to Vietnam by 2025.

In May 2022, Phongsupthavy Group Company signed a supply contract with China Western Power to provide project design, procurement, manufacture, and equipment supply, and signed a service contract with subsidiary Hong Kong Evergreen New Energy for all civil works and the transportation and installation and commission of the equipment. The contract period was 45 months for a total of US$ 409.2 million. Reporting claimed the contracts were signed following "nearly two years of hard work and nearly 100 technical and business communications." Additional details were available in an official announcement by Huaxi Energy.

In June 2022, Huaxi Energy stated (Google translate): "At present, the prepayment of the contract [for Laos Nanpan Clean Energy Project] has not yet been in place, and the project can only be started after the prepayment is received and the buyer issues a "starting order". There are uncertainties in the project start time, final execution and income. Investors are advised to pay attention to related risks."

In August 2022, Energy China North China Institute (中国能建华北院) won the bid for the engineering design and technical service contract for the mine-mouth power station. This was the second time the company had successfully won the bid after signing the 1×350 MW Houaphanh power station in April 2022. The units were expected by the end of 2025.

The project's financing still appeared in question.
