Successfully connected to the grid unit No. 2 of Yaly Hydropower Plant expansion

Unit 2 of the Ialy Hydropower Plant expansion project was officially successfully connected to the grid on the evening of December 13, 2024, completing 18 days ahead of schedule.

Unit 2 of the Ialy Hydropower Plant expansion project was officially successfully connected to the grid on the evening of December 13, 2024, completing 18 days ahead of schedule.

The Ialy Hydropower Plant Expansion Project, invested by Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), is a national key project, and construction will begin in mid-2021.

The Ialy Hydropower Plant expansion project has a designed capacity of 360 MW, including 2 units, and EVN has assigned the Power Project Management Board 2 (EVNPMB2) as the investor representative. Power Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company 1 is the consulting unit to design the project in each phase.

The moment of successful grid connection of Unit 2, Yaly Hydropower Plant expansion.

The project was implemented in a difficult context such as: the COVID-19 outbreak, high material prices due to the impact of political conflicts in the world, slow site handover procedures...

With the attention and close direction of EVN, the great efforts of EVNPMB2 and the close coordination of EVN's professional departments, Ialy Hydropower Company and consulting units, construction contractors, equipment suppliers, the project has been organized and implemented with many creative construction solutions.

In particular, the most prominent option is the simultaneous combination of rotors of unit 1 and unit 2, the arrangement of the site for parallel deployment of 2 units, and the organization of 3 shifts per day, including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. This is considered the "key" to speed up the progress of generating electricity for unit 2 right after generating electricity for unit 1, 18 days ahead of schedule and about 3 months shorter than usual.

The Yaly Hydropower Plant expansion has come into operation, helping to increase annual electricity output by about 233 million kWh.

When put into operation, the project will increase the power generation capacity of the national power system, especially during peak hours; contribute to enhancing the economic operation of the entire system; make optimal use of the water source's capacity, increasing the average annual power generation output by about 233 million kWh/year.

The project also contributes to reducing CO2 emissions; reducing the intensity and operating time of existing generators, thereby extending the life of equipment and saving maintenance and repair costs.

Previously, on November 26, 2024, Unit 1 of the Ialy Hydropower Plant expansion project was successfully connected to the national grid. Subsequently, the successful connection of Unit 2 18 days early was the result of the continuous efforts of EVNPMB2 and related units, aiming to practically establish achievements to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Traditional Day of Vietnam Electricity (December 21, 1954 - December 21, 2024).
