Nearly 500MW to be added to national grid

By the end of March, 470 MW will be added to the national grid- from generator 2 of Pleikrong hydroelectricity plant (with a capacity of 50 MW), generator 3 of Se San 4 hydroelectricity plant (120 MW) and generator 2 of Quang Ninh thermal electricity plant (300 MW)- Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has announced.

The EVN is striving to supplement this amount with 600 MW more from generator 2 of the Hai Phong thermal electricity plant in May.

Some projects scheduled to start work this year, including Nghi Son 1 and Mong Duong 1 thermal power plants and River Bung 4 hydroelectric power plant, are only gradually completing their procedures.

With a key national project, the Lai Chau hydroelectric power plant, the Prime Minister has decided to establish a state assessment council. The EVN is coordinating with consultancy units to prepare for answering questions before the council.
