Launching the Vietnam’s largest sea crossing 110kV line
A ceremony to launch the project to supply power to Lai Son island commune, the country’s largest sea crossing 110kV line was held on September 4 in Kien Hai district, the southern province of Kien Giang.
According to the Southern Power Corporation, a 110-kilovolt transmission line, which is expected to benefit nearly 2,000 local households, will be installed with the total cost of 368 billion VND (1.63 million USD).
The 43.9-kilometre-long line includes 19.4-km inland and 24.5-km sea-crossing segments using 48 power poles.
The project is scheduled to be completed in April 2016.
Addressing the launching ceremony, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said the project is expected to contribute to boosting local socio-economic growth, improve the living conditions of locals and attract investment to benefitting communes.
It will help reduce the use of diesel generators on the islands, easing pollution, and make the islands a firm defence system protecting the national sovereignty and sovereignty rights over sea and islands, the Prime Minister said.
Located in the southwest waters of the country and 60 kilometres southwest of Rach Gia city, Lai Son island covers 1,095 hectares and has a population of 8,120 people.
Lai Son is one of seven island communes benefitting from a programme to connect inshore islands in Kien Giang with the national power grid, invested with over 1.5 trillion VND (66.7 million USD) and bringing power to 8,600 households.
