| Work begins on Kon Tum’s largest hydropower plant | |
Work on construction of a hydropower plant with an investment of over 5.7 trillion VND (roughly 322 million USD) began on Sept. 27 in Kon Plong district, the central highland province of Kon Tum. The Thuong Kon Tum hydropower plant, the largest of its kind in the province so far, is designed to have a total capacity of 220 MW, producing 1.1 billion kWh of electricity a year.
Once completed in 2014, the plant will supply electricity to the national 220KV electricity grid and contribute to maintaining water flow for the Tra Khuc river in the central province of Quang Ngai, serving agriculture and industry in the lowland regions. | |
