Increase investment in construction works, ensure electricity supply

Towards this goal, the local electricity sector focuses on implementing a series of key solutions: Investing in power sources and grids; Deploying solutions on economical and efficient use of electricity; Negotiating load shifting; Adjusting load to ensure safe system operation and continuous power supply... Especially in the dry season this year, Binh Thuan Electricity Company established a Steering Committee in January 2025 to direct, operate electricity savings and ensure power supply in the province. Along with that, the electricity sector has also strengthened investment and construction work according to plan, in which the 110kV power grid projects in Binh Thuan are being invested by the Southern Power Corporation with about 912 billion VND. Including: Tan Thanh 110 kV line - Ham Tan 2 220 kV station (expected to be energized in June 2025), Ninh Phuoc - Tuy Phong - Phan Ri 110 kV line circuit 2 (energized in June 2025), Phuoc Thuan - Xuyen Moc - Ham Tan 220 kV line circuit 2 (currently carrying out site clearance compensation procedures)...

According to the plan, the electricity industry also plans to start construction of a number of projects in May 2025, such as the 110 kV circuit 2 Dai Ninh - Phan Ri 2 line, the 110 kV circuit 2 Luong Son - Phan Ri line. In addition, the Southern Power Corporation is also preparing to invest in 6 projects in Binh Thuan to release the capacity of renewable energy plants, ensuring power supply for production and business. These include: Tan Duc 110kV transformer station and Ham Tan 2 - Tan Duc 110kV line, Ham Tan 2 - Phan Thiet 2 110kV line, Ham Thanh 110kV station and Ham Thuan Nam 2 - Ham Thanh 110kV line, 110kV transformer stations (Dai Duong Valley and connection lines, Phu Hai and connection lines) ...

Regarding the distribution grid, this year, Binh Thuan Power Company was assigned by the Southern Power Corporation to invest in 36 medium and low voltage grid projects. Of which, the investment volume for new construction includes 52.12 km of medium voltage lines and 81.63 km of low voltage lines, upgrading 49.97 km of medium voltage lines and 152.11 km of low voltage lines, increasing the capacity of distribution transformer stations by 85.04 MVA... with a total investment of more than 475 billion VND. It is known that up to now, the local electricity industry has completed and put into operation 15/36 projects, the remaining projects are expected to continue to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

During the process of investing in the construction of the power grid in Binh Thuan, the electricity sector also encountered some difficulties, leading to delays in the progress of the projects. Therefore, recently, Binh Thuan Electricity Company requested relevant agencies and departments to consider supporting the resolution of difficulties through agreement on route direction, approval of investment policy and compensation for site clearance so that the electricity sector can carry out the next steps.

On the other hand, up to now, many districts have not approved the adjustment of land use planning and local master planning, so the electricity sector is finding it difficult to meet the progress of completing the approval of investment policies for projects in May 2025. Therefore, Binh Thuan Electricity Company also requested the relevant departments to support the review and submission of investment policy approval documents in parallel with the approval of land use planning for 110kV power grid projects that are in accordance with the Electricity Development Plan, Binh Thuan Provincial Plan and have been approved by the Provincial People's Committee for the route. Specifically: Approving the investment policy and approving the investor "with the condition that land acquisition, compensation, and resettlement support will only be carried out when in accordance with the planning and land use plan" to speed up the progress of 110kV power grid projects, meeting the electricity needs of the people... Thereby creating favorable conditions for the electricity industry to focus on implementing synchronous investment according to the plan, contributing to ensuring sufficient electricity supply for socio-economic development in Binh Thuan in particular and the whole country in general.
