T&T Group's Savan 1 wind farm in Laos hits $36.5 million revenue milestone
T&T Group’s Savan 1 wind farm, located in Savannakhet Province, Laos, is a cross‑border renewable project with a total investment of about $768 million and a designed capacity of 495 MW (Phase 1: 300 MW using 48 turbines). The first phase was built in roughly 16 months and began commercial operation (COD) at the end of 2025, delivering an estimated 0.9 billion kWh of electricity annually to Vietnam.
Seven months after COD, the project reported revenue of about $36.5 million (≈1 000 billion VND), marking the start of its cash‑flow phase. To avoid delays, T&T Group simultaneously constructed a dedicated 220 kV transmission line from Savannakhet to the Lao Bảo interconnection point in Quảng Trị, Vietnam. Engineers worked under harsh "3 no" conditions—no clean water, no phone signal, and no temporary housing—while building over 27 km of access roads, more than 45 km of internal roads, and an 80‑meter bridge (Tangatay) to ensure reliable power delivery.
