Launching an emulation movement to jointly build work clusters to release capacity of Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant

On 18 March 2022, in Khanh Hoa, Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and Vietnam Electricity Trade Union launched an emulation movement to jointly build work clusters to release the capacity of Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant.

The project is of special significance

The cluster of works to release capacity of Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant includes: Van Phong 500kV transformer station and connection; Van Phong - Vinh Tan 500kV transmission line; The 500kV transmission line connects Thuan Nam 500kV substation to Van Phong - Vinh Tan 500kV transmission line.

Over the years, following the direction of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam Electricity has completed the negotiation and signed the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant Project, and at the same time assigned the National Power Transmission Corporation to focus on investing in synchronously connected power grid projects. They are key works to ensure power supply for the South Central and Southern regions from the year 2023 onwards.

According to the provisions of the PPA and BOT contract of the Van Phong 1 BOT thermal power plant project, EVN is obliged to complete the  Van Phong - Vinh Tan 500kV transmission line project no later than 26 December 2022.

In addition to releasing the capacity of Van Phong 1 BOT Thermal Power Plant, the investment in construction of synchronous power grid projects to release capacity is also very important in the operation of the transmission grid, ensuring power supply and making a significant contribution to the socio-economic development, security and defense for the provinces in the South Central Coastal region; releasing capacity of renewable energy power plants in Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan and neighbouring provinces; contributing to ensuring power supply for the South, creating a strong link between the central and southern power systems, as well as making an significant contribution to the economic operation of the national power system.

As of 18 March 2022, localities have handed over the site of the  Van Phong - Vinh Tan 500kV transmission line project with 300/304 foundation positions and 183/304 post intervals for the route corridor.

Regarding the construction quantity of the whole route, the foundation items of 162/304 positions have been excavated, 133/304 positions have been molded, 35/304 posts have been erected, and 30 posts are being erected. Currently, for the whole route, any locations that have site available and meet the construction requirements, EVNNPT has required contractors to immediately implement construction.

For the 500kV Van Phong substation project, the site has been handed over and construction is under implementation according to the required progress. The branching part of the 220kV line was connected, the foundation site was for  54/62 positions, and the corridor of route for 20/62 posts were handed.
