The total investment for this project is
approximately 100 billion VND. The project was invested by National Power
Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), managed by SPMB as EVNNPT’s representative,
designed by Power Engineering Consulting Joint Stock Company 2 and implemented
by Song Da 11 Thang Long Single-Member
Limited Liability Company. After its completion, the project will be taken over and operated by Power Tranmission Company 3.
The
project involves the renew of a 1,293-km, 2-circuit, 500kV power line that
connects Thermal Power Plant Vinh Tan 4 to 500kV Vinh Tan substation, and the
expansion of the 500kV feeder at 500kV Vinh Tan substation.
Earlier
on 07 November 2016, SPMB energized and accepted circuit 1 to prepare power
supply for testing purposes at Thermal Power Plant 4’s unit 1.
The
connecting power line was constructed at Vinh Tan Power Center, Vinh Tan
Village, Tuy Phong Town, Binh Thuan Province. The expanded 500kV feeder was
implemented within the current space of the 500kV Vinh Tan substation.
The
project was invested to transmit power capacity from Vinh Tan 4 Thermal Power
Plant and the expanded Vinh Tan 4 Thermal Power Plant to the National power
system; and from plants in the Vinh Tan Thermal Power Plant area to Ho Chi
Minh’s load center and the South Eastern area, together with the help of other
500kV power lines. In addition, the project will also establish a 500kV
connection among the power system areas in order to ensure safe and stable
operation, improve the reliability of power supply and to reduce loss on the
entire network./.
