HCMC – Soc Trang Province’s Department of Industry and Trade has put forth a proposal to construct an overhead power transmission line between this Mekong Delta province and Con Dao Island off Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
The 110KV line will have a total length of 104 kilometers, connecting the Vinh Chau 220kV substation in Soc Trang Province and the Con Dao 110kV substation on Con Dao Island.
The department has proposed the overhead line option as it meets the technical requirements for electricity transmission and minimizes the project’s impact on residential and forest areas along the road.
This transmission line is part of a larger project approved by the prime minister in June to link Con Dao’s power system with the national grid. The components of this project include a 110kV transmission line and a 110kV-220kV substation on Con Dao Island, with a total investment of VND4,950 billion.
The Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) is the project’s investor, and the implementation phase is slated for the 2023-2026 period.
