Inside the nearly 4 trillion VND hydropower project in Dong Nai, expected to generate electricity in 2027

HÀ ANH CHIẾN |

Dong Nai - The Tri An Hydropower Plant project (Tri An ward) expansion with a capacity of 200MW will generate electricity from both units in 2027.

On August 22, Lao Dong Newspaper reporters recorded the actual progress of construction of the Tri An Hydropower Plant expansion project in Tri An ward, Dong Nai city, invested by Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), with a total investment of 3,965 billion VND.

The construction project of Tri An Hydropower Plant expansion is a special-class construction project, approved for investment policy by the People's Committee of Dong Nai province (now the People's Committee of Dong Nai city) in 2020.

The plant has an installed capacity of 200 MW, including 2 units, each unit 100 MW. This is an important project to increase the ability to generate peak coverage capacity for the national power system, effectively exploit the annual surplus water discharged during the flood season of the existing Tri An Hydropower Plant to generate electricity, and at the same time improve the ability to regulate frequency and stabilize the national power system frequency.

Overview of the construction of the Tri An Hydropower Plant expansion project in Tri An ward, Dong Nai city:

Theo Ban Quản lý dự án Điện 3 (thuộc EVN), đại diện chủ đầu tư quản lý, điều hành dự án cho biết: Dự án xây dựng mới tuyến năng lượng gồm: Kênh dẫn vào cửa nhận nước, cửa nhận nước, đường ống áp lực, nhà máy thủy điện, kênh xả hạ lưu và hệ thống đấu nối nhà máy với hệ thống điện Quốc gia (đường dây đấu nối Nhà máy thủy điện Trị An mở rộng vào trạm biến áp 220/110kV của Nhà máy thủy điện Trị An hiện hữu).
