Energizing the 500kV transmission line project, Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa section

Quynh Luu – Thanh Hoa 500kV transmission line project is a special-grade, group A energy project, invested by the National Power Transmission Corporation, operated by Power Transmission Company 1. The project is 92 km long, passing through Nghe An and Thanh Hoa provinces.

The project has 200 foundation positions, with 99 corridor anchorages. The project was implemented from January 18, 2024 and was approved by the Investor Acceptance Council to be energized on the morning of August 19, 2024.

“

The Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa 500kV Transmission Line Project has a total investment of over VND 4,079 billion. Of which, the route in Nghe An province is about 17.5 km long, including 34 column foundation locations, corresponding to 34 column intervals, located in the following areas: Quynh Luu district (9.80 km, 19 locations), Hoang Mai town (7.70 km, 15 locations).

Under the direction of the Prime Minister, the power line must be completed to celebrate the 79th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2.

The project, once completed, will help reduce the load and avoid overloading of existing 500kV lines, ensuring the N-1 criteria. The line also helps improve transmission capacity on the North-Central interface, combined with the 500kV Quang Trach - Quynh Luu, Thanh Hoa - Nam Dinh I, Nam Dinh I - Pho Noi lines, contributing to supplementing capacity from power sources in the North Central region to the load center in the North.

During the implementation process, the project has always received the attention and direction of the Prime Minister, ministries, branches, and leaders of Vietnam Electricity Group. Along with that is the support of the authorities at all levels where the project passes through, the consensus and joint efforts of the people who have given up land for the project, and participated in supporting the construction of the foundation excavation phase.

According to the leader of the National Power Transmission Corporation, besides favorable factors, the project implementation process encountered many difficulties when the power line passed through many high mountainous areas, many locations were in the forest, and some locations had to dig a very large amount of rock.

Along with that, the volume of steel columns is very large while the progress is required in a short time, the National Power Transmission Corporation, the Central Power Project Management Board and contractors have made efforts to focus on production, implementing specific solutions to speed up production progress.

Implementing the Prime Minister's direction with the spirit of "only discussing work, not backtracking", "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain, not losing to the storm", working "3 shifts, 4 shifts", "eating quickly, sleeping urgently", engineers and workers of the units participating in the project worked with the highest spirit and responsibility to bring the project to the finish line on time.

The leader of the National Power Transmission Corporation said: To meet the progress requirements as directed by the Prime Minister, in a short period of time, many work items have been deployed simultaneously such as construction and installation, pole erection, wire pulling, positioning frame installation, technical calibration. Therefore, in addition to the main force of units under the National Power Transmission Corporation and construction and installation contractors, Vietnam Electricity Group has mobilized 5 Power Corporations to participate in the construction support with a large number of qualified, experienced and skilled workers.

With the importance of the project, not only for the National Power Transmission Corporation, the Electricity units of Vietnam Electricity Group and other units have shown a high spirit and responsibility when participating in enthusiastic support, making efforts, not afraid of difficulties and hardships. Along with that, Vietnam Electricity Group also received support from Military Region 3, Military Region 4, Viettel Group, Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group... to participate in supporting the construction of poles and pulling wires for the projects.

The project's completion and energization meeting the Prime Minister's direction is a great motivation for the entire 500kV Line 3 project site to complete acceptance and inauguration in the coming days according to the Prime Minister's direction.
