Five power turbines designed to generate 560 MW were put into operation to increase the national electricity generation capacity in the first six months of the year, according to the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN).
The turbines include
four at Trung Son hydro power plant and one in Thai Binh thermo power plant.
Currently, the EVN is speeding up construction of power generation facilities
to ensure sufficient electricity for the southern region by 2020, especially the
expansion of Duyen Hai 3 and Vinh Tan 4 thermo power plants, the expanded Thac
Mo and Da Nhim hydro power plants, and new projects at Quang Trach and Tan
Phuoc power centres.

100-500 kV transmission projects, adding
360 kilometres of
transmission lines and 3,990 MVA in capacity of transformation stations.
The group is focusing on building the 500kV Vung Ang-Doc Soi-Pleiku 2
transmission line and other works to assure adequate power for southern
localities, the capital city of Hanoi and other areas with high electricity
demand.
The group’s total investment in construction in the first six months of the
year reached VND55 trillion (US$2.4 billion), accounting for 40.13% of yearly
plan. Total disbursement was estimated at VND49 trillion (US$2.15 billion) or
35.75% of the set plan.
By the end of this year, the EVN will add 1,075 MW to the national power
capacity by operating five more turbines. The expanded Thac Mo hydropower plant
will be put into operation in July, Song Bung hydropower plant in August, the
second turbine of Thai Binh thermo power plant in November and the second
turbine of Vinh Tan 4 thermo power plant in December.
The company is striving to complete 238 transmission projects, prioritising
