Capacity Upgrading of 500 kV Phu Lam Substation completed

Power Transmission Company No. 4 has energized AT1 transformer (500 kV - 900 MVA) at 500 kV Phu Lam substation as the final stage of the project “Upgrading 500 kV-450 MVA to 500 kV - 900 MVA transformers at Phu Lam 500 kV substation".

The project has been invested by National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) and implemented by Power Transmission Company No.4 (PTC4) to ensure safe and reliable power supply for HCMC and surrounding areas in the dry season.

Aiming at maintaining the quality and minimizing the construction period, PTC4 has mobilized its entire work force to work day and night and even holidays to complete the work as scheduled.

Mr. Phan Le Vinh - Head of Production Engineering Department of EVNNPT said that, with the efforts of units, the time to replace the transformers was about 15 days shorter than other similar work. It proved  PTC4’s expertise and organizing capability of implementing the project of upgrading AT1 500kV transformer at Phu Lam substation and the experiences gained from this project could be applied to similar projects of EVNNPT.
