The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of contractors’ unwavering dedication to construction, working tirelessly through all weather conditions, and adopting an efficient routine of eating quickly and sleeping early. He urged them to operate with three shifts and four teams, working relentlessly through holidays and the Lunar New Year festival to expedite the project.
The 500 kV Laos Cai – Vinh Yen power line, a national key project, spans a total length of 229.5 km across four provinces: Laos Cai, Yen Bai, Phu Tho, and Vinh Phuc. With a total investment of over VND 7,410 billion, the project is financed by an 80% loan from Vietcombank and the remaining 20% from the Vietnam Electricity (EVN)’s counterpart funds.
Upon completion, the project will be capable of transmitting approximately 3,000 MW of electricity from hydroelectric plants in the Northwest region and increase power import capacity. It will also enhance connectivity within the power system, improve safe operation, and reduce power losses.
Highlighting the significance of energy for economic growth, the Head of the Government pointed out that a one percent increase in GDP requires approximately a 1.5 percent growth in electricity. He instructed relevant ministries and sectors to thoroughly cut down on bureaucratic red tape and promote decentralization to accelerate project progress.
