People in Tan Ky district were excited when the State invested in the 110kV power grid project, aiming to improve the quality of the national power grid. In just a short time in 2020, the project was basically completed, the transformer station area was built on the land of Ky Tan commune, adjacent to Lat town.

However, after many years, the project has not yet been put into operation, making Tan Ky residents wait year after year. According to our observations, although the infrastructure for the 110kV transformer station construction area is available, the transformer station has not been installed, while the power line has been connected from Do Luong district.

Mr. Vi Van Quang - Head of the Economic - Infrastructure Department of Tan Ky district said that the reason for not operating the 110kV Tan Ky power grid project is due to problems with site clearance at some locations in Do Luong district. Regarding this issue, the Provincial People's Committee has reached a conclusion after working with Do Luong district.

Previously, on March 7, 2024, the Provincial People's Committee issued Notice No. 169/TB of the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh on the conclusion of the working session with the Northern Power Corporation and its member units to hear about the progress and solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles, speed up the progress of 110kV power grid projects in the province; including the 110kV power grid project of Tan Ky district.

According to the above conclusion, for the position of column No. 17 of the Tan Ky 110kV power grid project, the People's Committee of Do Luong district presides over and coordinates with the investor and related units to unify the plan, speed up the construction progress, and complete before November 1, 2024.

For the section from column 33 to column 37, the People's Committee of Do Luong district shall preside over and coordinate with relevant units to study and adjust some column positions, adjust design solutions, and increase clearance height to minimize the impact on the project of planting Doi trees combined with experiential education and ecotourism in Van Son and Thinh Son communes and other related projects. To be completed before March 12, 2024.

For the section from column 42 to column 44; the section from column 76 to column 79, the Northern Power Corporation directs relevant units to promptly complete the environmental impact assessment report; the dossier on conversion of land use purpose in accordance with regulations, submit it to the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment; Agriculture and Rural Development for appraisal, and complete before March 13, 2024.

After the decision to change the purpose of forest use was made, the People's Committees of Do Luong and Tan Ky districts promptly carried out related procedures to hand over the site to the investor to speed up the project's construction progress.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Tran Van Hien - Vice Chairman of Do Luong District People's Committee said that in order to carry out site clearance for the Tan Ky 110kV power grid project, investors must first complete the conversion of forest use purposes. However, up to this point, investors have not been able to do so, so Do Luong District People's Committee has no basis for site clearance./.

In early 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued a decision approving the feasibility study report on the investment in the construction of the Tan Ky 110kV transmission line and transformer station. Accordingly, the transmission line is connected from the 220kV Do Luong station to the 110kV Tan Ky station, more than 26km long, with a total investment of nearly 200 billion VND. In 2020, the project was basically completed.
