(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has almost completed site clearance work for construction of the expanded Hoa Binh hydropower plant.

households and ten organisations.

authorities have worked together to remove bottlenecks for site clearance work.

USD). It will include two turbines with total capacity of 480 MW, and
electricity output of about 488.3 million kWh per year.
