The conference was held directly at the Vietnam Electricity Group (Hanoi) bridge, online to the bridge points of 9 provinces and cities that the line passes through (Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh) and the bridge points of 63 electricity companies nationwide.
At the Conference, the leader of Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) informed that the 500kV Power Transmission Line Project, Circuit 3, Quang Trach - Pho Noi (500kV Transmission Line Project, Circuit 3) was assigned by EVN to the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) as the investor, with a total length of 519 km, 1,177 pole locations, 513 anchorages, passing through 211 communes/wards of 43 districts in 9 provinces with a total investment of more than 22,300 billion VND.

Under the strong and close direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, and the attention and support of ministries, branches, localities and people, EVN/EVNNPT has determined and made efforts to complete the energization of the 500kV Circuit 3 Transmission Line Projects after more than 6 months of construction instead of 3-4 years as usual.
