Xinhua, January 23, 2017 Adjust font size:

Vietnam's National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) planned to put into operation 63 projects worth over 21.2 trillion Vietnamese dong (934.43 million U.S. dollars) in 2017.

The key power transmission projects include a 500kV line, two 220kV lines, a 500kV transformer station, and transmission lines connecting with the country's northern Thai Binh thermal power plant, the state-run news agency VNA quoted the corporation as saying on Monday.

In addition, several major upgrade projects to ensure power supply for capital Hanoi, southern economic hub of Ho Chi Minh City, as well as key economic zones in the north and the south are also expected to be completed, said the EVNNPT. Endit
