Previously, Unit 1 was successfully installed and connected to the grid on August 19, 2025, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd.
The rotors of units 1 and 2 of the project weigh approximately 585 tons and are the rotating parts of the generator – a crucial component in the power generation system. To ensure progress and quality, the assembly of the stator and rotor, and the installation of the turbine, were meticulously checked and calculated down to the smallest detail by the investor, the supervising consultant, and the construction unit, ensuring absolute safety throughout the entire process.
The successful installation of the rotor for Unit 2 is a significant step forward, laying the groundwork for the electromechanical installation, testing, and commissioning phases, aiming for Unit 2 to generate electricity in November 2025 and complete the entire project in 2025, as a practical way to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
The Hoa Binh Hydropower Expansion Project is a nationally important project, with the investment policy approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 389/QD-TTg dated April 10, 2018. The investor is Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), represented by the Power Project Management Board 1.
The project involves the construction of two generating units with a total capacity of 480 MW (2 x 240 MW), an average annual electricity generation of approximately 490 million kWh, and a total investment of over 9,220 billion VND.
The project was constructed on the right bank of the existing Hoa Binh hydroelectric dam, in Phuong Lam, Thai Binh, and Thai Thinh wards, now Hoa Binh ward ( Phu Tho province). The main construction contractor was a consortium of Truong Son Construction Corporation, Construction Company 47, and Lilama 10 Joint Stock Company.
Upon completion, the project will increase the peak power coverage capacity of the national power system, improve the efficiency of operation and frequency regulation – stabilizing the system frequency, reduce the workload of existing generating units, thereby extending equipment lifespan, saving maintenance costs, and contributing to safer, more stable, and more economical operation of the national power system.
