"Shield" in the upper reaches of the Ca River
With its multi-purpose mission, Ban Ve Hydropower Plant not only has the mission of generating electricity but also acts as a solid "shield" to protect the downstream area.
With this important role, reservoir operation and regulation becomes a top priority, receiving special attention from both local authorities and management units.
Ban Ve Hydropower Reservoir covers more than 5,000 hectares of water surface, with a capacity of up to 1.83 billion m³. To ensure accurate and timely monitoring of water resources, since 2018, Ban Ve Hydropower Company has installed 13 automatic rain monitoring stations around the plant and reservoir area. In addition, the company also purchased data from 22 monitoring stations in Laos, contributing to the construction of a complete information system, effectively serving the safe operation of the project and reducing floods in the downstream area.
In particular, in August and September 2024, when implementing the Flood Reduction Operation Order for the downstream area, Ban Ve Hydropower Plant operated the reservoir to discharge floodwaters with a flow rate not exceeding the floodwater volume into the reservoir. Thanks to timely and effective regulation, the project has reduced 60% of the floodwater flow, minimizing the damage caused by floods to the downstream area, contributing to stabilizing people's lives.
Mr. Ta Huu Hung - Director of Ban Ve Hydropower Company said: "The company always closely follows the direction of the Provincial Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue and Civil Defense, along with the guidance of Vietnam Electricity Group and Power Generation Corporation 1. The company operates according to the inter-reservoir process, ensuring irrigation water supply for downstream areas, safe flood discharge, and at the same time, excellently completing production and business tasks".
In 2024, Ban Ve Hydropower Company exceeded its electricity output plan with a total output of 1 billion 224 million kWh, recording the highest level ever.
Focus on social security work
After 14 years of operation, Ban Ve Hydropower Plant has supplied more than 14 billion kWh of electricity to the national grid, affirming its pivotal role in ensuring national energy security. Not only contributing thousands of billions of VND to the State budget, this project is also an important driving force to promote economic, industrial and tourism development in Western Nghe An.
Despite facing many challenges, from high demand for electricity, harsh weather, prolonged drought, to frequent natural disasters and floods, Ban Ve Hydropower Company has always fulfilled its social security mission well.
In addition to the task of economic and social development in the area, we consider contributing and supporting social security work as a responsibility. This demonstrates the company's commitment to accompanying the locality.
Mr. Ta Huu Hung - Director of Ban Ve Hydropower Company
Over the years, Ban Ve Hydropower Company has spent a large amount of money to build schools, purchase equipment and learning tools for schools in the downstream area. In addition, the company also donated bicycles, awarded scholarships and sponsored poor students to overcome difficulties.
On every opening day of the school year, Ban Ve Hydropower Company gives away hundreds of gifts such as school bags and books, giving students more motivation to study. In addition, the company also cooperates with local authorities to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival and give gifts to poor students in districts such as Thanh Chuong, Tuong Duong, etc.
In 2024 alone, Ban Ve Hydropower Company spent 4.3 billion VND on many meaningful activities: Supporting people during Tet for the poor, supporting housing construction, education, overcoming damage after floods, releasing fish to regenerate aquatic resources and planting trees to balance the ecosystem in the lake.
With its achievements, Ban Ve Hydropower Company was honored to receive noble awards from the State and Government: Third Class Labor Medal, Certificate of Merit from the Prime Minister, Certificate of Merit from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Certificate of Merit from Nghe An Provincial People's Committee and many other noble awards.
