Project Information:

  • Project Name: 500kV Transmission Line from Nam Dinh I Thermal Power Plant to Pho Noi

  • Investor: Northern Power Projects Management Board – Branch of the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT)

  • Location: At tower location VT179A, Hong Linh Commune, Hung Ha District, Thai Binh Province

  • Construction Duration: 170 days

  • Main Scope of Work: Construction and installation of the transmission line section from tower VT179 to VT190 (including VT190)


Project Overview:

The 500kV Circuit-3 Transmission Line from Quang Trach to Pho Noi comprises four component projects, including:

  • 500kV Quang Trach – Quynh Luu Line

  • 500kV Quynh Luu – Thanh Hoa Line

  • 500kV Nam Dinh I Thermal Power Plant – Thanh Hoa Line

  • 500kV Nam Dinh I Thermal Power Plant – Pho Noi Line

The entire line spans approximately 519 km, consisting of 1,179 tower foundations, with a total investment of around VND 22,000 billion.
It passes through 211 communes/wards, 43 districts/towns, and 9 provinces, namely: Quang Binh, Ha Tinh, Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Hai Duong, and Hung Yen.


Project Significance:

This is a strategically critical project aimed at enhancing the transmission capacity of the 500kV North – Central grid, ensuring greater operational stability of the national power system. It plays a key role in ensuring reliable electricity supply to the northern region, both currently and in the coming years.

In addition, the project helps alleviate overload risks on the existing 500kV lines, ensuring N-1 compliance, especially when power flow from the North is low due to decreased hydropower output.


Emulation Period:

From January 15, 2024 to June 30, 2024
Participants: All collectives and individuals from the units involved in the construction of the 500kV Circuit-3 Transmission Line from Quang Trach to Pho Noi.
