On December 1, 2023, the Prime Minister approved the investment policy for two projects: the 500kV Quang Trach - Quynh Luu line and the 500kV Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa line. The two projects' lines run nearly 100km through the province, with 201 pole foundation locations. Under the direction of the Prime Minister, these two projects will be energized and put into operation in June 2024.
These are two projects in the list of key projects, of special importance, to ensure electricity supply for the Northern provinces, while contributing to reducing the load on the existing 500kV North-South lines, circuits 1 and 2.
To speed up the project implementation, on January 9, 2024, the Provincial People's Committee submitted a proposal to the Provincial People's Council to decide on the policy of changing the purpose of use of more than 16 hectares of planted forests to implement 2 projects. Localities are coordinating with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to focus on implementing compensation and site clearance.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment has completed the adjustment of the Land Use Plan of Hoang Mai districts and town; completed the approval of the 2024 Land Use Plan of Nam Dan, Nghi Loc, Yen Thanh districts and Hoang Mai town.
Regarding the electricity supply situation in the area, the province's capacity demand in the period of 2016 - 2020 increased by an average of 11.94%. The peak capacity of the power system in 2022 is 881MW and in 2023 is 929.2 MW. Commercial electricity in 2023 is 4,613 million kWh and the plan for 2024 is 5,917 million kWh, an increase of 28.3%.
Currently, the industrial load ratio in Nghe An region accounts for more than 45%, with industrial load of automation, manufacturing, and construction materials.
