(HBO) – Contractors and workers are racing with time by working day and night to complete a number of items of the expanded Hoa Binh hydropower project in 10 days before Hoa Binh water level rises, avoiding harms to the work.
Representatives from the Power Project
Management Unit No.1 and contractors inspect the progress of the expanded Hoa
Binh hydropower project.
The expanded Hoa Binh hydropower project is a national major project which was
launched following an order by the Prime Minister on January 10, 2021. The
project has two turbines with capacity of 480MW each. It is expected to
generate nearly 900 million kWh of electricity each year after becoming
operational. The project includes digging 3.8 million cu.m of soil and
rocks, and 370,000 cu.m of concrete, and installing 15,000 tonnes of
equipment.
Currently, the bidding package No.1 is being underway with total contract value
of over 3 trillion VND.
Colonel Tran Ngoc Tuan, Director of the Board of Directors of the construction
contractor joint venture, said that in the current stage, the construction of a
dyke around water intake gate in upstream of Hoa Binh Reservoir and the
foundation of the plant at elevation of 31m are among extremely important items
that must be completed as scheduled. Therefore, contractors are working hard to
ensure their progress.
According to Vice Director of the Power Project Management Unit No.1 and
Executive Director of the project Pham Thanh Hoai, once completed, the expanded
Hoa Binh hydropower project is expected to increase the power supply capacity
of the national power grid, creating favourable conditions to optimise the Hoa
Binh hydropower plant’s annual discharged water in the flood season for power
generation, improving the frequency regulation and frequency stability of the
national power system, contributing to cutting the system cost, reducing the
working intensity of existing turbines, thus prolonging the equipment's
longevity and saving maintenance and repair costs.
For Hoa Binh, the construction of the project has helped create jobs for local
firms and labourers. Its operation will help increase State budget revenue of
Hoa Binh every year. Particularly, the project will help connect An Duong Vuong
street in Thai Binh ward of Hoa Binh city with new Ba Cap Port, thus boosting
tourism and waterway transport development in the Hoa Binh Reservoir basin
area./.

Red grapefruit is a native crop of Tan Lac district, where the fertile soil and favourable climate create ideal conditions for its growth. With over 80% of the area being mountainous, at an altitude of 300-400 metres above sea level, red grapefruits here thrive on well-drained, fertile hillside soil. The region’s large temperature variation between day and night enhances the fruit's nutrient absorption. The local cultivation techniques also contribute to its uniqueness
