These are important projects to ensure energy security, meet the requirements of power transmission and supply, especially to release imported capacity from the Lao People's Democratic Republic. The investment objective of the projects is to meet the needs of power transmission and supply for the load of Phu Tho province and neighboring areas; strengthen the connection of regional power systems, improve the safety, reliability and stability when operating the regional and national power systems; reduce power loss on the power transmission grid, increase the efficiency of power production and business of EVN and EVNNPT.

In particular, the 500kV Hoa Binh 2 Switching Station Project and the connecting 500kV line are expected to be built in the communes of Lac Luong, Yen Thuy, Dai Dong, Phu Tho province, starting construction in 2025 and energizing in 2027. The 500kV Hoa Binh 2 Switching Station - West Hanoi line is expected to pass through the communes of Lien Son, Cao Duong, Hop Kim, Dung Tien, Lac Luong, Phu Tho province with a length of about 47km, starting construction in 2026 and energizing in 2027. The 500kV Vung Ang - Hoa Binh 2 Switching Station line is expected to pass through the communes of Dai Dong, Yen Thuy, Lac Luong, Phu Tho province with a length of over 11km, starting construction in 2026 and energizing in 2028. EVNNPT recommends that the People's Committee of Phu Tho province soon approve the location, route direction and investment policy so that the unit can implement the next procedures of the projects.

After listening to the reports and recommendations and proposals of EVNNPT and related units, Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Committee Phung Thi Kim Nga emphasized: Phu Tho Province agrees with the investment policy to build power transmission grid projects passing through communes in the province; at the same time, commits to providing maximum support to EVNNPT to implement projects to ensure progress and quality.

Leaders of Dai Dong commune expressed their opinions at the meeting.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee suggested: To ensure that projects are implemented on schedule, especially for the Hoa Binh 2 500kV Switching Station Project and the connecting 500kV line expected to start construction in December 2025, EVNNPT needs to closely coordinate with relevant departments, branches, units and localities of the province to agree on locations and route directions to ensure compliance with the planning and land use plan of the province; pay special attention to locations and route directions related to national defense land and industrial parks. On that basis, urgently complete the project dossier, request investment policy to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and approval.

The departments, branches, units and localities of the province need to identify these as projects with important roles and meanings, not only contributing to ensuring energy security, meeting the requirements of electricity transmission and supply but also promoting the socio-economic development of the province; thereby proactively coordinating with EVNNPT and units to come up with a "critical progress path" for implementation...

Regarding compensation and site clearance, the People's Committees of communes where power projects pass through need to coordinate with EVNNPT, the Department of Industry and Trade and the Hoa Binh Regional Land Fund Development Center to develop and approve specific compensation plans; at the same time, promote propaganda and mobilization to create consensus among the people.
