Nho Que 2 hydropower plant, located in the northern mountainous province of Ha Giang’s Meo Vac district, has completed 72-hour trial run, officially generating electricity commercially and connected into the national grid.

Located in Vietnam’s remote and underdeveloped region, the construction of the 48 megawatt Nho Que 2 hydropower plant started in June 2014, with the total investment capital of approximately VND1.5 trillion ($68.2 million).

After the trial period of 72 hours, the plant completed the test, satisfying the design requirements and technical standards and was ready to integrate into the national grid.
