TRANSMISSION LINES

Both the seller (NTPC) and the main buyer (EGAT) will build transmission lines on their own side of the Lao-Thai border for delivery at the border. Accordingly, electricity generated at the power station for EGAT is delivered to the border near Savannakhet via a 138 km double circuit 500 kV transmission line to be constructed by the Project. EGAT will construct a 160 km 500 kV line from the border to the nearest substation at Roi Et. The electricity delivered at the power station for EDL is transmitted to Thakhek via a 70 km long 115 kV transmission line. EDL will also offtake up to 15 MW of energy from the power station switchyard via 22 kV lines to the resettlement villages.
