This is a significant event, the
energized project is ready for connecting to transmission grid of Laos,
evacuating capacity from hydropower plants of Xekaman 1, Xekaman San-xay, upper
Xekong 3, lower Xekong 3 to Vietnam, creating the power supply sources for the
growing loads in Vietnam, a grid interconnection
contributes to the sustainable energy development under the global integration
and interregional cooperation. This is helpful for the optimal exploitation and
operation of Vietnam power system, increasing the business and production
efficiency of Vietnam Electricity (EVN).
The project has a total cost of VND
966.162 billion invested by EVNNPT. The Central Power Projects Management Board
(CPMB), on behalf of EVNNPT, manages the project. Vietnam Power Construction
Corporation and Song Da 11 Joint Stock Company are responsible for project
implementation. Power Transmission Companies No.2 (PTC2) and Power Transmission
Company No. 3 (PTC3) will take over the project management and operation when
the project completed.
Scope of project:
- To construct a double circuit
220kV transmission line and 4 circuits from Vietnam –Laos border (connecting
the 220kV transmission line from Xekaman 1 Hydropower plant to Vietnam-Laos
border invested by Government of People’s Republic of Laos) to the 500kV Pleiku
2 substation, with a length of about 119 km. In which, the double circuit
transmission line has a length of about 103 km and the 4 circuit transmission
line has a length of about 16 km.
- To construct an Optical
REGenerator at Dak Kan commune, Ngoc Hoi district, Kon Tum province and the
22kV transmission line supplying power for the construction and auxiliary
demands, of a length of 80m.
- To construct one control unit
of transmission division, expectedly in Sa Thay district of Kon Tum province.
The 220kV Xekaman 1 - Pleiku 2
transmission line runs through the districts of Ngoc Hoi and Sa Thay districts
of Kon Tum province and Chu Pah, Iagrai districts of Pleiku city, Gia Lai
province.
The 220kV Xekaman 1 - Pleiku 2
transmission line project is one of 3 projects in Pleiku 2 block project
including: The 220kV Xekaman 1 (Hatxan) - Pleiku 2; the 500kV Pleiku 2
substation; Installation of the 500/220kV transformer in the 500kV Pleiku 2
substation and 220kV connection./.
