The 500 kV LNG Bac Lieu – Thot Not transmission line project is invested by EVNNPT, with NPTPMB responsible for project management. The project involves constructing a new 135.6 km double-circuit 500kV transmission line, starting from the gate tower of the 500 kV Distribution Yard at Bac Lieu LNG Power Plant and ending at the gate tower of the 500 kV Thot Not Substation. The line passes through Ca Mau Province and Can Tho City, including the construction and installation of complete equipment for two 500 kV bays at the existing Thot Not Substation.
The section passing through Ca Mau Province includes 7 communes: Vinh Hau, Hoa Binh, Vinh My, Chau Thoi, Vinh Thanh, Phuoc Long, and Ninh Quoi.
The section passing through Can Tho City includes 12 communes/wards: Xa Phien, Vinh Thuan Dong, Vi Thuy, Vi Thanh 1, Truong Long Tay, Truong Xuan, Thoi Lai, Dong Hiep, Thoi Hung, Trung Hung, Trung Nhut Ward, and Thuan Hung Ward.

To date, Ca Mau Province and Can Tho City are expediting route agreement procedures. On December 8, 2025, the Ca Mau Provincial People’s Committee approved the project’s route through its territory. In Can Tho City, departments, agencies, and localities are urgently reviewing the route for approval.
At the meeting, EVNNPT Deputy General Director Nguyen Ngoc Tan emphasized the project’s significance in transmitting power from the Bac Lieu LNG Power Plant to the national grid.
Along with other 500 kV lines in the region (Thot Not – Duc Hoa; Duc Hoa – Cau Bong; Duc Hoa – Phu Lam), the project aims to interconnect the 500 kV grid across regions, ensuring safety and stability in power supply for the Southern region and adjacent areas.
It also contributes to meeting the N-1 criterion, enhancing grid stability, and improving the reliability and safety of the national power system.
To ensure the power output of Unit 1 of the Bac Lieu LNG Power Plant, the cooperation of both localities is essential in route agreement, investment approval, and land clearance compensation. The project is expected to commence in Q2/2027 and be completed in Q4/2028.
