a big flood in October, the company opened eight bottom floodgates with a discharge
output of 16,250 cu.m per second, the biggest since the plant was put into
operation.
Thanks to the good regulation of water, the Hoa Binh hydropower
plant was protected, while no human losses were recorded and asset losses of
people in lower areas were minimised.
However, the company admitted that there remained some production
violations, especially in obeying power safety regulations.
