Delegates attending the ceremony
The Nam Non hydropower project has a capacity of 20 MW and consists of 2 turbines. The project started in December 2011 with Nghe An Energy Development Corporation as the investor with a total investment of 513 billion VND. Song Da 5 Joint Stock Company is the direct contractor with the volume including: excavation of 151,260m3 of rock and soil; embankment of 77,440m3; concrete of all kinds of 60,000m3; and steel reinforcement of 1,854 tons.
Comrade Dinh Viet Hong issued the order for the river blocking ceremony of the Nam Non Hydropower project.
The delegates pressed the button to give the order to block the river.
The Nam Non hydropower project is built on the Nam Non river, a main branch of the Ca river, a step between the Ban Ve hydropower plant and the Khe Bo hydropower plant. The construction site is in Ban La - Luong Minh commune - Tuong Duong district, 14km downstream from the Ban Ve hydropower plant. When the Nam Non hydropower project is completed, it will generate electricity to the 110KV line, providing stable electricity to the districts along National Highway 7A, including Tuong Duong.
Local people watch the river damming ceremony.
The project is expected to supply about 89 million kWh/year to the national power system. The construction of the Nam Non hydropower project is part of the socio-economic development strategy of the western mountainous region of Nghe An, contributing to the policy of restructuring, accelerating economic growth, creating jobs for thousands of local workers, and at the same time, contributing to ensuring national energy security.
Up to now, all items of the project have completed about 50% of the work volume and unit 1 is expected to generate electricity in early 2014.
