TKV proposes to add power sources to Power Plan VIII

Guaranteed power source helps TKV strongly develop bauxite projects in Dak Nong province

Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Group (TKV) has just sent a document requesting the People's Committee of Dak Nong province to continue to pay attention, agree, and report to the Government and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to consider adding the 200 - 300 MW renewable energy power source project, along with 500 kV and 220 kV power lines and transformer stations to the adjusted Power Plan VIII.

According to the proposal, TKV wishes to research and invest in the construction of renewable energy projects during the review and approval phase of the Implementation Plan for the adjusted Power Plan VIII.

This is to create a basis for TKV to develop the aluminum alumina sector according to Plan 866 approved by the Prime Minister.

TKV will invest in expanding and increasing the capacity of Nhan Co Alumina Complex to about 2 million tons of alumina/year.

Implementing Plan 866, up to now, TKV has completed the construction of "TKV Development Strategy to 2030, vision to 2045" and "Overall development project of TKV's bauxite - alumina - aluminum sector to 2030, vision to 2045".

According to the orientation, TKV will invest in expanding and increasing the capacity of Nhan Co and Tan Rai alumina complexes to about 2 million tons of alumina/year/complex. At the same time, invest in a new Dak Nong 2 bauxite - alumina - aluminum complex, with a capacity of 2 million tons of alumina/year and 0.5 million tons of aluminum/year.

In addition, TKV also proposed to build an aluminum electrolysis plant project in Lam Dong with a capacity of 0.5 million tons of aluminum/year. The total electricity demand after 2030 of these projects is estimated at nearly 2,000 MW.

The addition of renewable energy sources will contribute to promoting the sustainable development of TKV and making Dak Nong the National Aluminum Industry Center.

The addition of renewable energy sources will help ensure power supply for strategic aluminum projects, contributing to promoting the sustainable development of TKV and turning Dak Nong into the National Aluminum Industry Center. This is also an important driving force for socio-economic development and ensuring national security and defense in the Central Highlands region.

Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is finalizing the Project to adjust the 8th Power Plan according to the opinions of ministries, localities, and relevant agencies to submit to the Government for approval in the coming time.
