(KPL/VNA) The Monsoon –
Thanh My 500kV transmission line project's section in the Vietnamese territory
was successfully energised on January 23 evening, according to the Vietnam
Electricity (EVN)’s Power Project Management Board 2 (EVNPMB2).
Launched on September 30,
2023, the project is designed to import electricity from Laos’ Monsoon wind
power plant to Vietnam, adding 600 MW to the national power grid during the
2024–2025 period.
Invested by EVN and
managed by EVNPMB2, the Vietnamese section of the project spans around 44.71 km
across Nam Giang district in the central province of Quang Nam. With a total
investment of over 1.1 trillion VND (44 million USD), this double-circuit
transmission line connects the Monsoon wind power plant cluster with the Thanh
My 500kV station in Quang Nam.
Impressively, the
Vietnamese section was completed 40 days ahead of the scheduled power
generation start date for the Monsoon wind power project, which is slated to
become operational in early March 2025.
The line boasts a maximum
transmission capacity of roughly 2,500 MW. After the Monsoon wind power plant
in Laos is completed, it is expected to transmit about 1.7 billion kWh each
year.
