Where the wind meets the fields
A new kind of wind project is taking shape in the mountains of northern Laos.
High in the uplands of northern Laos, strong winds sweep across land that villages have farmed for generations. We are helping to shape a project where both can thrive: clean power for the region, and a better future for the communities who live and farm there.
Most projects treat wind and farming as rivals for the same land. This one treats them as partners. The turbines and the fields are planned to grow stronger together, and local people are set to share in the benefits from the start.
- —Clean energy for one of Asia's fastest-growing power markets
- —Farming and livelihoods built in from day one, not added afterwards
- —Shaped around the standards that international development partners expect
There's more to come soon. If you work in climate, agriculture or renewable energy in the Mekong region and would like to hear first when we can say more, get in touch.
