AsemconnectVietnam - Among the flagship projects inaugurated was the expanded Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant with a total installed capacity of 480MW per year and average annual output of about 488 million kWh.

Vietnam Electricity (EVN) on December 19 launched and inaugurated a series of major power projects in a coordinated nationwide infrastructure push to welcome the upcoming 14th National Party Congress.

These projects span hydropower, wind and solar generation as well as power transmission.

Among the flagship projects inaugurated was the expanded Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant with a total installed capacity of 480MW per year and average annual output of about 488 million kWh.

Worth more than 9.2 trillion VND (350 million USD), the expanded project raises the combined capacity of the Hoa Binh hydropower complex to 2,400MW.

EVN also inaugurated the 4.9 trillion VND project supplying electricity from the national grid to Con Dao special zone. The 110-kV transmission project, stretching 103.7km including an undersea section, helps ensure stable power supply for the island and end its reliance on diesel generation.

In Khanh Hoa province, EVN inaugurated Phuoc Thai 2 solar power plant, with a capacity of 87.5MW (100MWp) and total investment of 1.5 trillion VND. The plant is expected to generate nearly 169 million kWh annually and contribute to the expansion of clean energy supply.

In addition, EVN broke ground on two wind power projects, including the Huong Phung 1 wind farm in Quang Trị province, with a capacity of 30MW and investment of about 1.13 trillion VND, and phase two of the Cong Hai 1 wind project in Khanh Hoa province, with a capacity of 25MW and investment of nearly 940 billion VND.

Both wind projects are scheduled for commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2026 and are expected to add more than 160 million kWh of renewable electricity annually to the national grid.

EVN said the coordinated launch of energy projects underscores Vietnam’s efforts to strengthen energy security, diversify power sources and accelerate its transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy.
