This is a great event of the project, an important milestone marking the results of more than ten years of construction and installation of the Hydropower Plant, overcoming difficulties of the Vinh Son-Song Hinh Hydropower Joint Stock Company’s (VSH - Investor) staff and construction contractor, equipment supplier, supervision consultant, and support units under Power Generation Corporation 3 participating in the construction of the hydropower plant.
Thuong Kon Tum Hydropower Project is invested by Vinh Son-Song Hinh Hydropower Joint Stock Company (an associate of Power Generation Corporation 3). The plant exploits the water flow from Dak Nghe River. The investment policy of this fifth hydropower project in cascade on the Se San river system was approved by the Prime Minister with a total capacity of 220MW (two power units 2 x 110MW).

When completed and put into operation, the average annual power output of Thuong Kon Tum Hydropower will be about 850 million kWh, contributing to strengthening the power supply capacity for socio-economic development and reducing power system loss. The hydropower plant will contribute annually to the budget of Kon Tum province more than VND 200 billion.
