X.Y.Tower Partners with Lao Power Company to Set New Benchmark for 132kV Power Monopole Project

In November 2025, X.Y.Tower and Lao Electric Power Company formally established a strategic partnership to jointly advance the implementation of the 132kV power pole project. As a significant achievement in China-Laos power cooperation, this initiative aims to optimize Laos' regional grid structure, enhance power transmission efficiency, and provide more reliable energy support for the country's high-quality economic and social development. It also sets a new benchmark for China-Laos “Belt and Road” power collaboration.

‌Project Background and Significance‌

As an emerging economy in Southeast Asia, Laos has experienced rapid growth in electricity demand in recent years. However, its grid infrastructure still faces shortcomings, particularly in the urgent need to upgrade its medium- and high-voltage transmission networks. As a vital backbone component of the grid, the stability and safety of 132kV power poles directly impact regional power supply quality and energy security. Leveraging its deep technical expertise in power equipment manufacturing, Sichuan Xiangyue Electric Power Co., Ltd. has partnered with the Lao National Electric Company to introduce intelligent, high-strength power pole technology. This collaboration will help Laos build a more efficient and low-carbon modern power grid system.

‌Collaboration Scope and Technological Innovation‌

‌1.Technology Sharing and Localized Production‌

X.Y.Tower will supply its proprietary 132kV power pole integrated technology, including high-strength composite towers and intelligent monitoring systems. By partnering with local Laotian enterprises, the project will achieve localized production of certain components, reducing transportation costs while facilitating technology transfer and industrial upgrading.

2.Smart Grid Integration

The project will integrate IoT technology to enable real-time monitoring of pole operational status and fault early warning, enhancing the grid's disaster resilience. For instance, sensors will track pole inclination and temperature parameters, while big data analytics will optimize maintenance strategies to minimize power outage risks.

3.Green and Low-Carbon Design

Power poles utilize eco-friendly materials and lightweight structures to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions while supporting future grid integration of clean energy sources like wind and solar power, aiding Laos in achieving its energy transition goals.

‌4.Social Benefits and Regional Impact‌

‌Economic Stimulus‌: The project is projected to create over 200 local jobs, driving growth in Laos' power equipment manufacturing sector and establishing a virtuous cycle of “technology introduction-local production-market application.”

‌Improved Livelihoods: By enhancing grid reliability, the project will cover multiple provinces in northern and central Laos, benefiting residents in remote areas. It will resolve unstable power supply issues and promote the development of public services like education and healthcare.

‌International Cooperation Model: As a key project in China-Laos power cooperation, its successful implementation will provide a replicable grid upgrade solution for Southeast Asian countries, strengthening regional energy interconnection.

5.Future Outlook

Both parties expressed their commitment to building upon this collaboration to further expand cooperation in areas such as new energy development and smart grid construction. X.Y.Tower plans to establish a technology R&D center in Laos to cultivate local power talent, deepen the integration of “Chinese technology + Lao market,” and contribute power expertise to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

‌This collaboration marks not only a milestone in China-Laos power technology exchange but also a vivid practice of consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits under the Belt and Road Initiative. Through the implementation of the 132kV power pole project, X.Y.Tower and Lao Power Company will jointly write a new chapter in regional energy cooperation, injecting robust momentum into Laos' economic and social development.
