Completing the entire 500kV line, circuit 3

At 6:06 a.m. on August 17, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), the Central Power Project Management Board (CPMB), coordinated with relevant units to energize the Vung Ang - Quang Trach 500kV transmission line, thereby marking the completion of the entire cluster of projects of Vung Ang - Quang Trach - Doc Soi - Pleiku 2 500kV transmission line, circuit 3.

Immediately after being energized, each line circuit carries a load of 110MW.

Previously, at 8 p.m on July 31, 2022, this route was technically energized to open the entire 500kV line, circuit 3.

The energization of the Vung Ang - Quang Trach 500kV line project has made a significant contribution to completing the entire 500kV line, circuit 3, project, and at the same time helps to release the full capacity of Vung Ang Thermal Power Plant on the national power system, strengthen the transmission capacity of the 500kV power grid, contributing to ensuring power supply for Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Da Nang and surrounding provinces.

The  Vung Ang - Quang Trach 500kV transmission line from the  Vung Ang 500kV Substation (Ha Tinh) to the  Quang Trach 500kV Distribution yard (Quang Binh) is more than 32km long.

The overall project of Vung Ang - Quang Trach - Doc Soi - Pleiku 2 500kV transmission line:

- Investor: National Power Transmission Corporation;

- Project management unit: Central Power Project Management Board;

- Consists of 3 component projects:
