The first turbine group of the Son La Hydro-electric Power Plant in the northern province of Son La started its idle run on November 18.

This is an important step before the turbine begins generate electricity by late November, one month ahead of the plan approved by the Prime Minister and two years ahead of the schedule set by the National Assembly.
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.
