Units participating in project construction signing emulation agreements

Overcoming challenges, keeping abreast of project progress

Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh - Director of Power Project Management Board 2 (PMB2, the unit assigned to manage and operate the project by EVN) said: Expanded Ialy HPP was approved investment policy by the Government in 2018. The project’s target is to increase the capacity mobilizing ability for loads in the southern region, especially during peak hours, contributing to improving the operation mode of the power system (increasing the source and peak power of the load graph, increasing operational flexibility, increasing reliability and safety coefficients, etc.), thereby contributing to reducing production costs of the national power system.

The project takes full advantage of the flow capacity by limiting the annual excess water discharge, contributing to the reduction of fuel costs for power generation, CO2 emissions and dependence on fossil fuels; reducing the operation intensity of the existing units, thereby prolonging the life of the equipment, saving maintenance and repair costs.

The project includes 2 units with a total installed capacity of 360MW and a total investment of about VND 6,398 billion. Funding for the project consists of 30% of counterpart capital from EVN and the remaining 70% is arranged from credit loans from Agribank and the French Agency on Development (AFD).

The main targets in 2023 are as follows: concrete placement for water-intake; installation of gantry crane; finishing excavation and support, and reinforced concrete placement of 2,150m long for headrace tunnel; finishing reinforced concrete work for the lower chamber of surge tank; finishing reinforced concrete of vertical shaft for surge tank; finishing penstock erection and 600m long of reinforced concrete cover for penstock; finishing concrete work and installation of repair gate, operation gate, bridge crane at the machine hall, transit bridge crane, etc.
