The 500 kV Vinh Yen transformer station and connecting lines were built in Trung My commune, Binh Xuyen district, Vinh Phuc province (old), now Binh Tuyen commune, Phu Tho province.
The project has a scale of building a new 500/220/35kV transformer station including 2 900MVA transformers, each transformer is connected to a combination of 3 single-phase transformers, capacity 300MVA; building 500kV and 220kV feeder compartments; building 2 connecting lines 4.7 km long.
Mr. Phung Bao Anh, Deputy Head of the Northern Power Project Management Board, said that the project implementation process encountered many challenges in site clearance compensation, resettlement arrangements for households, high fluctuations in material prices, and difficulties in mobilizing construction workers by contractors because EVN and EVNNPT were simultaneously implementing many key power projects...
The Vinh Yen 500kV Transformer Station site has many projects being implemented at the same time, many contractors participating in the bidding packages, leading to an impact on the progress of some items of the project. Along with that, in mid-May 2025, the new transformer was delivered to the station, so the unit coordinated with contractors to focus on working day and night to install and test and calibrate.
However, with the support and close direction of the local government, the Party Committee, the leaders and the Boards of the Group, the leaders of EVNNPT and NPMB are regularly present at the construction site to urge and remove obstacles in the construction of detailed progress and construction plans for the items, along with the high determination of the contractors participating in the construction to complete the energization and put into operation of the 500kV Vinh Yen Transformer Station on July 21, 2025, meeting the set schedule.

The 500 kV Vinh Yen transformer station and connecting line, when completed, will be connected to the 500 kV Hiep Hoa - Son La and Hiep Hoa - Viet Tri lines, which will be the transfer point between two sources of thermal power and hydropower - from Son La and Lai Chau hydropower plants and thermal power clusters in the Quang Ninh area.
The transformer station will also be connected to the 500 kV Lao Cai - Vinh Yen line after the line is completed, promptly releasing power from small hydropower plants in the Northwest region and importing electricity, contributing significantly to ensuring electricity in the Northern region in the following years.
The project, once completed, is of great significance in meeting the growing load demand of the Phu Tho province power system; creating strong links between regions in the power system, increasing the ability to operate safely and stably for the national power system.
Continue to promote spirit to complete assigned projects
Speaking at the ceremony, comrade Nguyen Huu Tuan - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Group warmly praised and congratulated the collective leadership, officers, engineers, workers of EVNNPT, NPMB, consulting units, contractors, functional agencies, authorities and local people where the project passed through for joining hands, being unanimous, united, and making efforts to overcome all difficulties, bringing the project to completion on schedule, ensuring quality, safety and efficiency.
