Energization and Commissioning of the 110kV Vĩnh Hảo Industrial Park Substation and the Connecting Transmission Line

The project, which was launched on September 14, 2022, is located in Vĩnh Hảo Commune, Tuy Phong District, Binh Thuan Province. The project is designed with two transformers, each with a capacity of 63MVA, and in this phase, one transformer with a capacity of 63MVA is installed. The connecting transmission line is 263 meters long, and the substation area covers 2,845 m². The total investment is over 48 billion VND, funded by a loan from AFD (French Development Agency).

The Southern Power Project Management Board (Board A) is assigned by the Southern Power Corporation (EVNSPC) as the managing unit of the project. The construction contractor is a joint venture of three companies: Chan Hung Trading – Services – Engineering Joint Stock Company, Thu Duc Mechanical and Electrical Joint Stock Company, and Thien Dinh Trading and Investment Limited Liability Company.

In the early hours of October 5, 2023, preparations for the energization of the 110kV Vĩnh Hảo Industrial Park Substation and the connecting transmission line were completed. The Southern Power Corporation and the related units proceeded with the energization of the 110kV Vĩnh Hảo Industrial Park Substation and the connecting transmission line in Bình Thuận Province.

The energization and commissioning of the project meets the expectations of local authorities and the people, ensuring the power supply capability for the Tuy Phong Industrial Park, reducing the electricity supply radius on the 22kV Phan Ri grid, thereby reducing energy losses and improving voltage quality on the distribution network in the area. The investment in the 110kV Vinh Hao Industrial Park Substation will proactively address the power supply needs for the growing load demand in Tuy Phong District and the surrounding areas in the future.

After 20 hours of operation, by 7:30 PM on October 5, 2023, the energization process was completed, and the project officially began operation to serve the local people. The Southern Power Corporation expressed gratitude to the local authorities for their excellent support in land clearance, enabling the completion of the task. The contractor also made efforts to work overtime to carry out construction and installation work, ensuring that the project met the required progress.

The commissioning of the project will provide power to Tuy Phong District, ensuring the livelihoods of the local people and supporting economic development in the area. It will also enhance the reliability of the power supply, reflecting the electricity sector’s commitment to Bình Thuận Province in ensuring energy security.
