CPMB discusses solutions to foster 500kV transmission line, circuits 3 and 4

On June 19, the Board of Directors of the Central Power Projects Management Board (CPMB) organised an urgent meeting with leaders of divisions to discuss the work of 500kV transmission line, circuits 3 and 4, which face the risk of missing the schedule of putting into operation in 2025.

Currently, the project documents for the transmission line were approved by the prime minister in the National Power Development Master Plan for 2021-2030 with a vision towards 2045 (PDP8).

The transmission line is in Group A, which is the special grade project. According to the plan, the construction will be implemented in 50 months for a length of 316km, excluding the delay in land clearance.

The line goes through four provinces, Quang Binh, Ha Tinh, Nghe An and Thanh Hoa. The problem is the construction site has complex terrain and may be impacted by the harsh weather of the central region.

On the other hand, it takes between 10 and 18 months to complete the procedures to convert the forest land use purpose to submit to the prime minister for approval.

In addition, the project’s investment planning has yet to be approved, so these barriers may cause delays compared to the schedule for 2025.

The Board of Directors of CPMB said that in recent times, there are many changes in regulations in construction investment activities. The allocation of land and compensation for site clearance has become more complicated in the context of the lack of synchronisation and overlapping local planning, mechanisms and policies in compensation and site clearance. These barriers cause difficulties for the investors during the process of implementing the project.

The local people’s committees ask for the government’s approval to unify the policy of converting forest land into land for project construction. At the same time, localities will be responsible for supporting investors in land clearance and compensation work and related work to ensure the construction schedule.

EVN accelerates 500kV Van Phong-Vinh Tan transmission line Electricity of Vietnam has proposed changing the use purpose of the forest land while accelerating land clearance to develop the 500kV Van Phong-Vinh Tan transmission line project.

Over 10 billion USD per year to develop power sources and grids in 2021-2030 The demand for investment capital for the development of power sources and grids will average 10-11.5 billion USD per year by 2030.

500 kV transmission line Vung Ang-Quang Trach-Doc Soi-Pleiku 2 officially energises Energising the third circuit of the 500kV transmission line Vung Ang-Quang Trach-Doc Soi-Pleiku 2 will contribute to undertaking electricity supply and energy security for the South and releasing the power of renewable energy projects.

EVN strives to ensure stable electricity supply for the north The North-South 500kV transmission line plays an important role in ensuring electricity for the northern region as the power supply is limited, the water falling into the hydropower reservoirs is exhausted, much of the lake water evaporates, and the electricity demand in the hot season skyrockets.
