After 225 days of construction, the 500kV circuit 3 transmission line project from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen) has been energized and is fully operational along the entire route.
The Quang Trach - Quynh Luu 500kV transmission line project is the final component of the 500kV circuit 3 transmission line project from Quang Trach to Pho Noi. The Quang Trach - Quynh Luu project spans 226 km, passing through the provinces of Quang Binh, Ha Tinh, and Nghe An. The project includes 463 tower foundation locations, of which 237 are located through mountainous terrain and complex landscapes. Of the 197 spans along the transmission line corridor, 7 spans cross large rivers and lakes, and 15 spans cross national highways.

This was coupled with the support of local authorities in the project areas, and the cooperation of the people who ceded land for the project and participated in supporting the excavation and foundation construction phase.

(Photo: Cuong Dao)The project also faced difficulties in mobilizing construction workers to erect poles and lay wires due to the tight construction schedule, short implementation time, and the simultaneous construction volume of poles and wires for other large projects.

Prior to this, EVNNPT completed the energization of the Thanh Hoa 500kV substation on June 28, 2024, the Nam Dinh 1 Thermal Power Plant - Thanh Hoa 500kV transmission line project on June 30, 2024, and the Quynh Luu - Thanh Hoa 500kV transmission line and Nam Dinh 1 Thermal Power Plant - Pho Noi energized transmission line projects on August 19, 2024.
