On June 17, the Vietnam Electricity Trade Union coordinated with the Soc Trang Provincial Labor Federation to organize a working delegation to visit, encourage and present gifts to union members and workers working on the Power Supply Project for Con Dao district (Ba Ria - Vung Tau province).
The delegation was present in Vinh Chau town (Soc Trang province) where important items of the project are being implemented to visit the working and living conditions of workers and record the positive working spirit of the construction force in complex weather and terrain conditions.
On this occasion, the delegation presented gifts to 5 groups, with a total value of 110 million VND to encourage the spirit of working and sharing difficulties with the workforce.
Previously, on March 8, Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) coordinated with Vietnam Electricity Trade Union to organize a launching ceremony to compete in completing the construction progress goals of the National Power Grid Supply Project for Con Dao district (Ba Ria - Vung Tau province).
The project has a total investment of VND4,923 billion, expected to be completed and energized in 2025. The scale of the project includes a 110kV line of 103.7km long, including 17.5km of overhead line through Soc Trang, 77.7km of underground cables across the sea and 8.5km of underground cables on Con Dao island. The project also includes the expansion of Vinh Chau 220kV transformer station (Soc Trang) and the construction of a 110/22kV GIS transformer station in Con Dao.
Con Dao is a locality with a strategic position in terms of national defense, security and island sovereignty, and is also an important tourist destination. The current power system of the island district mainly relies on diesel with limited capacity (11.8 MW), not meeting the needs of socio-economic development. After completion, the project will supply power to Con Dao with a total capacity of about 29MW in 2026, 55MW in 2030 and 90MW in 2035.
