The project, with a total investment of VND 4,923 billion, commenced in March 2025 and is targeted for completion and energization within the same year. Once completed, it will ensure a stable and continuous power supply for Côn Đảo Special Zone, laying the foundation for economic and tourism development, as well as ensuring national defense and security in the new era.

According to the Power Project Management Board No. 3 (EVNPMB3), the representative of the project owner, construction progress is being closely monitored and urgently executed. Multiple construction packages are being carried out simultaneously on land, at sea, and on Côn Đảo.

At Package 01, covering the onshore area in Can Tho City (formerly part of Sóc Trăng Province), 14 out of 14 tower foundations have been erected and 5 out of 8 spans have had cables pulled. However, progress is currently affected due to incomplete handover of the right-of-way at some locations.

For the offshore construction, the contractor has completed 5 out of 18 tower foundations, with 3 additional foundations under construction. Work is being carried out closely on-site, taking advantage of favorable weather conditions, with a goal to complete all offshore tower erection before August 20, 2025.

At Package 02, 6 out of 8 concrete foundation pads have been completed, with work ongoing at the remaining 2 locations. Package 04 has completed all 5 foundations and is currently in the finishing phase.
