Talking with Mr. Mai Van Manh - Head of the Management Board of Lai Chau PC Project, we have learned that: In 2024,  Lai Chau PC was approved by the Northern Power Corporation and temporarily assigned the construction investment capital plan with 8 project lists and assigned 2 additional projects in 2023. The project works were completed and energized in the first quarter of 2024, supplying power to more than 255 off-grid households and preventing the overloading situation in overloaded areas in the districts: Than Uyen, Tam Duong, Sin Ho, Nam Nhun, Phong Tho and Lai Chau city. In addition to performing a new power supply to off-grid households, the project also supplies power to 1,342 households far from the national grid in the districts and cities.

We learned that Lai Chau PC has been approved by the Northern Power Corporation and temporarily assigned the 2025 construction investment capital plan with 5 project categories, with a total investment of nearly VND 60 billion. The categories and projects will expand the medium voltage grid, build 8.9km of new 35kV lines and 15 substations, with a total capacity of 2.3MVA; build over 36km of new lines and renovate nearly 41km of 0.4kV low voltage lines. After completion, the project will supply power to more than 30 off-grid households in Pa Cha O village (Hong Thu commune, Sin Ho district), reducing the power supply radius for 915 households living far from the national grid in districts and cities in the province.
