New progress at the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant expansion site

Completing the installation of the running wheel is a necessary preparation step for the assembly of the rotor of unit 1, expected to be completed in June 2025.

This is one of the important technical milestones, marking a new step in the project's equipment installation process.

The impeller weighs 110 tons, is a super-heavy equipment, imported from abroad. The installation of the impeller is carried out by contractor Lilama, requiring precise coordination and absolute safety between the parties involved.

According to EVNPMB1, completing the installation of the working wheel is a prerequisite for continuing to install the next important equipment such as: turbine cover, turbine shaft, control ring, turbine guide bearing... This is also a necessary preparation step for the assembly of the rotor of unit 1, expected to be completed in June 2025.

The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project is invested by EVN; EVNPMB1 is the representative investor for management and operation, with the scale of installing 2 units with a total capacity of 480 MW. When put into operation, the plant will add about 500 million kWh of electricity per year to the national power system, contributing to improving the ability to exploit peak capacity, enhancing the safety, stability and operational efficiency of the national power system.

EVN, EVNPMB1 and contractors are striving to keep up with the schedule, striving to put unit 1 into operation before September 2, 2025 and complete the entire project in 2025.
