Cluster of works to release capacity for Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant: 'The sprint' to the deadline

Overcoming many difficulties and challenges, the cluster of works to release capacity for Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant is gradually completed as per schedule. It is a "sweet fruit" from the drastic involvement of the whole political system, in which it is indispensable to mention the role and strong determination of the Vietnam Electricity (EVN), the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), Central Power Project Management Board (CPMB) and other units participating in the project.

The cluster of works to release capacity for the Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant includes the Van Phong 500kV substation and connection, Van Phong - Vinh Tan 500kV transmission line, 500kV transmission line connecting Thuan Nam 500kV substation to the Van Phong - Vinh Tan 500 kV transmission line.

According to the schedule committed with the investor of Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant, this project cluster must be completed before December 26, 2022. The construction time of this project is very short compared to that of other projects of similar size and nature.
