Construction of the VND 37 trillion hydro-electric power plant started in December 2005. It is designed to have six turbine groups with a combined capacity of 2,400 MW.
Once it swings into full operation in 2012, the Son La power plant will be the largest in Southeast Asia, generating 10.2 billion kWh a year.
