On December 23, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), the Central Power Projects Management Board (CPMB), in coordination with relevant units, successfully energized the AT2 500kV transformer at the Pleiku 2 500kV Substation, increasing its capacity from 450MVA to 900MVA, thereby raising the substation's capacity to 1,800MVA.
The project of upgrading the capacity of the Pleiku 2 500kV Substation was implemented within the existing Pleiku 2 500kV Substation premises (without expanding the substation area) in Gào commune, Gia Lai province.
This is a special-grade, Group B energy project, with the National Power Transmission Corporation as the investor, CPMB managing and operating the project, and Power Transmission Company 3 taking over it for operation.
