Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the construction site of the expanded Hoa Binh hydropower plant.

While in Hoa Binh, the PM and his entourage offered incense at late President Ho Chi Minh’s monument at the Hoa Binh hydroelectric plant.

He then came to inspect the construction site of the expanded Hoa Binh hydropower plant. Kicked off in January, 2021, the project worth 9.22 trillion VND (387.64 million USD) invested by the Electricity Vietnam (EVN) aims to increase the peak coverage capacity for the national power system, improve its frequency regulation and frequency stability, and exploit the annual excess water discharged in the flood season of the existing Hoa Binh hydropower plant. The constructor is now working toward the completion of two turbines within 2025.

Lauding efforts by the investment and construction sides in tackling problems and ensuring safety for the project so far, Chinh highlighted the importance of the existing plant and the expanded one serving the national energy security.

He urged them to ensure quality, progress, and environmental protection.

As part of his trip to Hoa Binh, the PM also visited 97-year-old Heroic Mother Nguyen Thi Cho whose two children laid down their lives for the independence and freedom of the fatherland. Wishing her good health, Chinh stated the Party, State and people always remember the contributions and sacrifices of families with meritorious services to the national revolution and pay attention to caring for them.

Touring a 1.3-ha social housing project invested by the Sao Vang real estate joint stock company in Quynh Lam ward in Hoa Binh city, Chinh spoke highly of efforts by the investor for the implementation of the 738-billion-VND project. Beginning in December, 2020, the building is expected to finish in February this year.

Visiting households living in social houses, Chinh requested relevant competent agencies and financial units to assist them in accessing credit sources and stabilising their lives./.
