Groundbreaking ceremony for second transformer installation at Tan Phu Trung 110kV Substation

The project involves the installation of a new 110kV - 63MVA transformer along with associated facilities, including an outdoor 110kV distribution yard, a 24kV medium-voltage bus, control and protection systems, SCADA, fire prevention and fighting systems, and modern monitoring equipment. This is the second phase of the 110kV substation project applying digital substation technology (Process Bus).

Scheduled for completion and energization in December 2025, the project will enhance power supply capacity for the Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park and the Northwest gateway area of Ho Chi Minh City. Notably, it will ensure a stable and safe electricity supply for the city’s Data Center located at the Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park. The total investment cost of the project exceeds VND 45 billion, financed by EVNHCMC.
