1. Which city had electricity the earliest in our country?
- A
According to the Vietnam Record Organization, in the 80s of the 19th century, in Paris (France), people considered electricity an expensive luxury. It was not until 1888-1889 that they decided to use electric lights to light up some administrative centers. At that time, in Indochina, the colonial government planned to use this new source of energy.
According to research by Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Huu Quang in the book Early Saigon Urban Infrastructure, Hai Phong was the first place in Vietnam to have electric lighting in 1892, that is, from the 19th century, followed by Hanoi and then Saigon. - B

According to the document, "The first electric street lights in Saigon" by Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Huu Quang, before the advent of electric lights, in Hai Phong, Hanoi or Saigon, people lit the streets with lanterns burning coconut oil.
In 1892, the French started construction of Indochina's first coal-fired thermal power plant in Hai Phong. This plant was called the Flower Garden Lighthouse, with a capacity of 750kW. This was the policy of building Hai Phong into the "economic capital" of Indochina by Governor-General Jean-Marie De Lannessan: "In the projects that have been done and will be done, we must focus on expanding electric light and water to the two main cities of Hanoi and Hai Phong to improve the lives of Europeans in Bac Ky". This shows that later, when Governor-General Paul Doumer came to Hanoi, electric lights were already available.

3. Is it true or false that Hai Phong has the earliest thermal power plant in our country?
- A
Correct
According to Vietnam Electricity Group, the first coal-fired thermal power plant in Vietnam was Vuon Hoa Lighthouse, built by the French in February 1894 in Hai Phong. Subsequently, in the Northern and Central regions, small plants, with a scale of no more than 10 MW and low steam parameters, were built one after another.
By October 1954, the total power capacity of the North was only about 31.5 MW with an electricity output of about 53 million kWh/year. To meet the electricity demand, along with repairing, renovating and upgrading the power plants left by the French, in the years 1955 - 1960, Vietnam started construction and put into operation a number of new coal-fired thermal power plants with small and medium capacity, medium pressure steam parameters (pressure/temperature up to 3.43 MPa (35 bar)/435 degrees C), chain grate and pulverized coal furnace technology. - B
