Overcoming difficulties
The project team overcame multiple challenges, including complex terrain, biodiversity conservation, long-distance logistics, rainy-season construction, and cross-border grid integration.
More than 160 kilometers of on-site roads were built, improving travel to nearby villages and facilitating the transport of local produce.
A dedicated research team was also hired to monitor biodiversity, identifying over 20 protected species — including rare fire salamanders and azaleas — and adjusting construction plans to protect their habitats. Azaleas are popular shrubs that bloom in early spring to summer.
