Southern Power Corporation: Energizing a series of key projects
In the first 8 months of 2024, EVNSPC has started construction of 23 power grid projects at 110 kV voltage level, energized 18 projects and strives to start construction of 5 more projects and energize 5 more projects in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Increase supply, stabilize power supply
The Southern Power Corporation (EVNSPC) has just successfully energized two key projects supplying electricity to southern provinces and cities in August 2024, thereby increasing the power supply for people's daily life, production and business, as well as other cultural and political activities.
The first project is the Phong Dien 110 kV Transformer Station and connecting line, which started construction on December 15, 2023 in Phong Dien town, Phong Dien district, Can Tho city. The project has a scale of 02 transformers with a capacity of 2×40 MVA and the first phase will install 01 transformer with a 40 MVA and a connecting line of 85 m, with a total investment of VND 82,746 billion, built with commercial credit loans and counterpart funds from EVNSPC's own capital. This project was completed in early August 2024.
Next is the Dinh Binh 110 kV Station and the Dinh Binh 110 kV branch station. The project was built in Cay Tram Hamlet, Dinh Binh Commune, Ca Mau City and was energized and put into operation at the end of August 2024. This project came into operation and connected the 22 kV grid with the existing Ca Mau 110 kV transformer station, supporting capacity, improving reliability in power supply in Ca Mau City and neighboring areas; improving voltage quality, reducing power loss on the distribution grid in Ca Mau City. At the same time, the 22 kV power supply radius in Ca Mau City was reduced due to having to receive power from the Ca Mau 110 kV transformer station, contributing to reducing power loss during transmission.

At the same time, EVNSPC held a ceremony to put up the signboard of the Suoi Tre 110 kV Transformer Station and connecting line, Dong Nai province. The project is located in Suoi Tre Industrial Park, Suoi Tre Ward, Long Khanh City, Dong Nai Province. Phase 1 of the project has installed a 63 MVA transformer with a total investment of VND 84 billion. Started on June 30, 2023, the project was completed, energized and put into operation in July 2024, 3 months ahead of schedule and will ensure the quality and progress required to supply electricity mainly to the existing Long Khanh Industrial Park - future expansion, Suoi Tre Industrial Park and neighboring loads, while strengthening the loop connection with the Long Khanh 110 kV station.
In the first 8 months of 2024, the Corporation has started 23 investment projects to build and develop the power grid at the 110 kV voltage level, energized 18 projects, and strives to start 5 more projects and energize 5 more projects in the fourth quarter of 2024.
In addition to the above-mentioned projects, a number of other key projects have been energized and put into operation, such as the Khanh Van 110 kV transformer station and connecting line built in Khanh Van quarter, Khanh Binh ward, Tan Uyen city, Binh Duong province; the Ascendas 110 kV transformer station and the An Tay - Ascendas 110 kV line at Binh Duong Reverside International Industrial Park, Kien Dien, Ben Cat town, Binh Duong province; the My Phuoc 4 110 kV transformer station at My Phuoc 4 Industrial Park, Thoi Hoa ward, Ben Cat city, Binh Duong province.
Similarly, EVNSPC has also energized the Thanh Tan 110 kV transformer station and connecting line in Cho Xep hamlet, Tan Thanh Binh commune, Mo Cay Bac district, a project selected as a key project in 2024 of Ben Tre province. Next to it is the Thuan Dao industrial park 110 kV transformer station and connecting line, aiming to increase the power supply capacity of Can Duoc district, Long An province and neighboring areas.
For the 110 kV Tan Quoi transformer station with a total investment of 60 billion VND, located in Tan Quoi town, Binh Tan district, Vinh Long province, besides being completed and energized, it was also chosen as one of the two projects with a signboard to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the traditional day of the Vietnam Electricity industry (December 21, 1954 - December 21, 2024).
Overcoming the challenge of land clearance
To complete the above projects, EVNSPC has received great support from local authorities at all levels because the difficulties in the construction of these key projects lie in site clearance.
However, with many efforts, EVNSPC has proactively registered to work with the provinces to take advantage of the situation, especially the difficulties in relocating the power grid for highway construction through the area such as in Can Tho City, An Giang and Soc Trang.

Most recently, on September 24, 2024, EVNSPC leaders had a working session with leaders of Binh Phuoc Provincial People's Committee, discussing solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles for 04 investment projects to build 110 kV power grid in the province.
According to the report, by September 2024, in Binh Phuoc province, there are 04 investment projects to develop the 110 kV power grid invested by EVNSPC, including the 110 kV transmission line phase separation project from 177 Binh Long 2 - 175 My Phuoc, with a total investment of 74.22 billion VND; the 110 kV exposure project from the 220 kV Chon Thanh station (4 circuits) with a total investment of 115 billion VND; the Hoa Lu 110 kV transformer station project with a total investment of 62.55 billion VND and the Tan Hung 110 kV transformer station project and the 110 kV branch line connection, with a total investment of 157.8 billion VND, which have been supported by the parties in the construction procedures.
Up to this point, the projects have basically completed investment documents and procedures; the projects have approved cadastral survey documents, completed the work of handing over landmarks to localities, and some projects have been approved and are implementing compensation payments and support for site clearance.
However, these projects still face some difficulties during the construction process. To ensure the progress of the plan, EVNSPC has proposed the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to advise the Provincial People's Committee to provide unified guidance on compensation and support policies for land and crops inside and outside the power grid safety corridor for 110 kV power grid projects being implemented in the province, especially on land plots managed by Rubber Companies. At the same time, there are new guidelines on compensation, support and resettlement policies according to the 2024 Land Law and Decree No. 88/2024/ND-CP dated July 15, 2024 of the Government to guide compensation, support and resettlement policies for affected households according to new regulations.
For the group of projects striving to be energized in 2024 to serve socio-economic development and people's lives, EVNSPC has requested local authorities to continue to mobilize people to hand over the site, creating favorable conditions for investors to soon implement the project.
Identifying that power projects, especially those that are about to be completed and energized, play a very important role in the development of the province, especially in the field of industrial production, the Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Phuoc province requested departments, branches, localities and units to continue reviewing procedures and documents, supporting EVNSPC to ensure that upcoming projects are soon implemented, in the spirit of ensuring compliance with legal regulations to maintain production and business activities, and supply electricity to ensure continuous, safe and stable power supply.
