More than 2,500 families living in the Theun-Hinboun hydropower project area have received full land titles for their houses and gardens. THPC has worked with district authorities in Khammouane and Bolikhamxay to survey and issue residential plots for all households that moved to 13 resettlement and relocation villages built by THPC. The titling programme was among the largest ever rural land registration drives in Laos. It gives security to every family and increases the value of villagers’ houses and land plots.

Welcome to THPC

A guiding model for sustainable hydropower in the Lao PDR

THPC operates the Theun-Hinboun hydropower plant in Bolikhamxay and Khammouane provinces of Laos. An extension to the original power project was completed in 2012 and inaugurated in January 2013.

An independent power producer supplying electricity to Thailand and Laos, THPC is a public-private partnership, owned by a Lao public company together with investors from Thailand and Scandinavia.

THPC is committed to contributing to economic and social development in Laos while preserving the environment. Operations are designed to conform to the laws and regulations of the Lao PDR, and to meet at minimum the standards of the Equator Principles and Asian Development Bank Safeguard Policies.

Since its inception, THPC has made a major contribution to Lao development, providing valuable income in foreign exchange, electricity for industrial growth and improved domestic conditions, plus employment and training for thousands of local workers. This pioneering venture has also paved the way for other major investment projects and for economic growth across the country.
