The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant plays a crucial role in flood control for the Red River Delta region and contributes to ensuring electricity supply for the country’s socio-economic development.
Reaching a milestone of 280 billion kWh highlights the efforts of the Hoa Binh Hydropower Company in successfully balancing flood control and efficient power generation.
From the moment the first unit was connected to the national grid on December 30, 1988, at 8:20 PM, to November 9, 2024, the Hoa Binh Hydropower Company has produced 280 billion kWh over 36 years of managing, operating, and effectively exploiting this strategic, multi-purpose hydropower plant.
Since the completion of the entire plant in 1994, with 8 units and a total installed capacity of 1,920MW, the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant has significantly contributed to addressing Vietnam’s power shortage for an extended period. Even with the operation of the Son La Hydropower Plant, the power generation efficiency of the Hoa Binh plant continued to increase by 12-14% compared to the previous period. The electricity output consistently exceeded the design capacity, maintaining a level of 9-10 billion kWh/year.
On May 24, 2016, the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant achieved a remarkable milestone of 200 billion kWh, a feat unmatched by any other hydropower plant in Vietnam up to that point.
2018 marked another record-breaking year for the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, with an electricity output of 12.29 billion kWh, surpassing the designed capacity (8.16 billion kWh) by 1.5 times. This was also the highest annual output the plant had achieved since its operation.
Presently, the Hoa Binh Hydropower Company is determined to intensify labor emulation in production, emphasizing innovation and the application of advanced science and technology. They are focused on replacing and upgrading mechanical turbine components and the 220kV oil cable system to enhance equipment reliability and performance, aiming to increase the availability of the units to ensure safe and stable operations.
