On the afternoon of June 17, comrade Nguyen Hong Dien - Member of the Party Central Committee, Minister of Industry and Trade, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the State Steering Committee for important national programs, works and projects, key to the energy sector, directly inspected the progress of the 500kV line 3 project through Nghe An province.
Also participating in the working delegation were representatives of the State Capital Management Committee at Enterprises; Vietnam Industry and Trade Union; Vietnam Electricity Group; National Power Transmission Corporation and representatives of functional units under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
On the side of Nghe An province, there were comrade Nguyen Duc Trung - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; leaders of relevant departments, branches and Nam Dan district.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien and his delegation visited Nam Thai commune (Nam Dan district) to directly inspect the construction site of anchorage 337-338, part of the 500kV Quang Trach - Quynh Luu transmission line project, part of the total 500kV circuit 3 transmission line project from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen).
Reporting to the Minister, the construction unit said that the 337-338 anchorage is the first anchorage on the 500kV line 3 through Nghe An province. The construction of this anchorage is complicated because the wire must be pulled over the 220kV line, the 110kV line and National Highway 15A. The construction units have coordinated with related units to cut off the power from 3am to 4pm every day for construction.

During this process, the locality has arranged staff to be on duty, provide regular support, and ensure absolute safety for construction. Local forces have also actively supported the construction unit with appropriate tasks. The investor and the construction unit are determined and strive to complete the project before June 30, 2024, according to the Prime Minister's direction.
Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung said that up to now, Nghe An has completed the handover of the site to the investor and construction unit.

Implementing the Prime Minister's direction, Nghe An province has mobilized forces to actively support the investor and the construction unit in the spirit of "4 on-site": on-site forces; on-site means and materials; on-site command; on-site logistics. Nghe An province is committed to continuing to accompany the investor and contractors to implement the project to ensure progress.
After listening to the report and inspecting the construction site, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien highly appreciated and thanked the attention and direction of the provincial leaders as well as the support and removal of difficulties from departments, branches, localities and other forces in the process of implementing the construction of the 500kV line 3 project through the area. Thereby, striving to complete the project before June 30, 2024 according to the direction of the Prime Minister.
