CK Power Plc (CKP), the power generation arm of construction firm CH Karnchang Plc, will double its electricity generation capacity to 4,800 megawatts within 2024, mostly from renewable energy, as the company continues to focus on clean power development. At present, the company's capacity stands at 2,167MW, 89% of which is generated by facilities producing renewable power. The Luang Prabang project is intended to be built on the Mekong mainstream in Houygno village, about 25 kilometres from Luang Prabang, according to the Mekong River Commission's website. CKP earlier developed the Nam Ngum 2 hydropower plant with installed capacity of 615MW and the 1,285MW Xayaburi power plant in Laos.
