The 220kV bay expansion at the 220kV Do Luong transformer station is carried out on the land area adjacent to the existing TSS in Do Luong commune, Nghe An province.

After completion, the project will help increase the stability of power supply for the load in Nghe An province; release capacity from the Nam Mo Hydropower Plant Cluster in Laos, My Ly Hydropower Plant, Nam Mo 1 Hydropower Plant and small and medium hydropower plants in the area through the 220kV Tuong Duong Substation to the national power system.

The project implementation process encountered many difficulties and challenges in compensation and site clearance, along with the weather in the area being frequently affected by storms in 2025. However, with the close direction of EVNNPT, the solidarity of the local government of Nghe An province, and the support of the people where the project passed, the project was completed and finished more than 1 month ahead of the Investment Policy approved by the People's Committee of Nghe An province.
