The 500 kV Pleiku - My Phuoc - Cau Bong transmission line was built with the goal of providing power for load growth demand of the Southern region for the period 2014 to 2015. It creates premise for power import from Laos to Vietnam and grid connection of Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia after 2015 period. It also strengthens the interconnection the power transmission grid at 500 kV, which will contribute to ensuring security, economic operation of the power system under the circumstances requires the power exchange at high-level among regions in the country.
As design, the 500 kV Pleiku-My Phuoc-Cau Bong transmission line has 2 circuits with the length of 437.514 km, passing through six provinces: Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh city.

EVN assigned the National Power Transmission Corporation as project investor, the Central Power Project Management Board as project management unit on behalf of EVNNPT; The Power Engineering Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company 2 and 4 are the advisory body for design survey; The Power Transmission Company 3 and 4 participates in counseling supervision; 15 units involved in the construction. According to schedule, it is expected to energize and put into operation in late 2013.
