Speed up project construction

The 220 kV Tuong Duong - Do Luong transmission line project is built in many communes of Nghe An province. This project has a length of more than 80 km including 2 circuits, the starting point is from the 220 kV Tuong Duong transformer station, the ending point is the 220 kV Do Luong transformer station.

Up to now, localities of Nghe An province have completed handing over the site of 192 foundation positions. For the corridor section, the site of 44/58 anchorage spaces has been handed over.

Regarding construction progress, the project has completed the foundation casting, erected 182/192 columns, and is assembling 3 positions. The wires have been pulled for 28 anchors with a length of nearly 33 km, and the wires are being pulled for 2 anchors. For anchors that are eligible for wire pulling, contractors are mobilizing forces to speed up construction.

For the 220 kV Do Luong - Nam Cam transmission line project, it passes through many communes of Nghe An province. The project has a scale of building 2 220 kV transmission lines from the 220 kV Do Luong substation to the 220 kV Nam Cam substation with a length of about 37 km.

Bay extension at 220 kV Do Luong substation installs equipment for 2 220 kV bays in 220 kV Do Luong substation (existing) and connects the information system for the 220 kV Do Luong - Nam Cam line.

Up to now, the foundation has mobilized and handed over 105/106 positions, the corridor has mobilized and handed over 38/51 anchorages. During the construction, the project has completed casting 87/106 positions, is constructing 14 positions, erected 83 poles, completed pulling wires for 15 anchorages with a length of more than 13 km, and is pulling wires for 3 anchorages.

According to the leader of the Central Power Project Management Board (CPMB), the unit assigned to manage and operate the project: Regarding the overall progress, this project cluster is closely following the set schedule, contractors at the construction site are also mobilizing maximum forces and means for construction. However, the biggest challenge of this project is the weather. During the period from September to early October, due to the consecutive impact of storms, especially storm No. 10, the construction progress was slowed down. Especially at locations where the foundation is being constructed, mountainous areas where the access roads are washed away, landslides must be repaired, and locations under flooded fields cannot be accessed for construction.

Along with that, the locality has not yet handed over all the site locations of poles and corridors of both projects. CPMB continues to coordinate with the compensation and site clearance council (BT-GPMB) and the People's Committees of related communes to organize meetings with households and organizations whose land and assets are affected to disseminate the project investment policy/compensation and support policies for GPMB. At the same time, continue to mobilize households to receive money to hand over the site to the construction unit.

Efforts to complete the project in November 2025

According to the leader of PC1 Group Joint Stock Company, the unit participating in the project construction, in the past, due to the impact of the weather, along with the force being dispersed due to the construction of other key projects of the Electricity industry, the progress has not met the set plan. The unit has mobilized the best human resources, means and machinery to focus on implementing and speeding up the project progress with the determination to complete the project in early November 2025 according to the direction of EVNNPT leaders.

At the project progress review meeting on the afternoon of October 6, EVNNPT Deputy General Director Truong Huu Thanh acknowledged the efforts of CPMB and the units participating in the project to complete a large amount of work, however the overall progress still did not meet the requirements.

These transmission projects aim to release capacity from Lao wind power plants, Nam Mo hydropower plant cluster in Laos, My Ly hydropower plant, Nam Mo 1, small and medium hydropower plants in the western region of Nghe An into the national power system. The project helps to increase the reliability of power supply for the growing load of Nghe An province and connect the power grid in the region.

At the same time, it meets the electricity demand for loads in the Central region, where some important existing and future industrial loads of Nghe An province are concentrated, contributing to promoting the socio -economic development of Nghe An province.

Therefore, EVNNPT Deputy General Director Truong Huu Thanh requested CPMB to closely coordinate with relevant departments, branches and localities of Nghe An province to promptly resolve site clearance problems. Closely coordinate with local authorities and political organizations to propagate and mobilize for early handover of site for the project.

For construction units, EVNNPT Deputy General Director requested units to add manpower, simultaneously carry out foundation excavation, pole erection and wire pulling, and continue to coordinate with CPMB to mobilize handover of foundation sites for construction.

CPMB needs to review the difficulties and problems at each column position and each corridor anchorage of each contractor to focus on management. Difficulties and problems must be reported immediately to the Corporation's leaders for timely resolution.

The entire construction site needs to be highly focused and determined, striving to complete the projects by early November 2025, in accordance with EVN's instructions.
