Nam Phueak Dams Hydropower info - by Hobo Maps - Go to Hydropower Projects Page - - - HOME

The project is also spelled Nam Pheuk, Nam Puock or Nam Peuk. All spellings are pronounced like "Nam Puek".

Nam Phueak Dam Hydropower project is located in Xaysomboun Province of Lao PDR, just south of Xieng Khouang Province where there are other hydropower projects under development by Phongsubthavy Group with plans for export of their output to Vietnam.

It seems there may be two Nam Phueak hydropower projects. Nam Phueak 1 as a 20 MW project and Nam Phueak 2 as 15 MW. But Google Maps only has one titled Nam Phueak. For this web page we will assume there is only one under construction. Both have plans for export and sale of output to Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) with transmission into the 220 kV Tuong Duong substation in northern Vietnam.

In October 2026 we aren't aware of who the owner and developer of the project are but probably is affiliated with Phongsubthavy Group. Also unsure if construction has started but it probably has, at least on one of the two projects.

Nam Phueak HPP may be located at coordinates - 18°59'05.4"N 103°46'31.2"E (18.984833, 103.775333) as seen in the satellite image below, but this location is provided by a Google Map user and hasn't been confirmed.

Looks like Nam Phueak HPP is about 40 km from the Vietnam border and ony 20 km away from joining the 220 kV export transmission line of the Nam Mo cluster.

Can't see any clear hydropower facilities on satellite image below. Linfar waterfall is nearby and a weir can be seen at the bottom of the image.

We suspect Phongsupthavy Group may be managing this Nam Phueak project since it is grouped as being in the "Nam Mo Cluster" by the Vietnamese government.
