Ialy Hydropower Plant Extension Project (2 units with a total capacity of 360MW) is invested by EVN, located 400m from the current position of Ialy Hydropower Plant in Ia Tang commune, Sa Thay district, Kon Tum province.
The objectives of expanding the installed capacity of Ialy Hydropower Plant are: to increase dispatchable generation capacity for meeting loads in the South, especially during peak hours; to contribute to improving the operation mode of the power system (enhancing generation capacity and peaking power of the load diagram, increasing operational flexibility, reliability, safety, etc.), thereby contributing to reducing generation cost of the system; to make the most of the water flow by minimizing the annual discharge of excess water, raising the annual average electricity output of about 223.6 million kWh per year, contributing to reducing annual fuel costs.
In addition, the project will reduce the working intensity of the existing power units, extend the lifetime of equipment, save maintenance and repair costs.
