SON LA (VNS)— The first turbine of the Nam Chien 1 Hydroelectric Plant in Muong La District in the northern mountainous province of Son La started generating power at 6pm yesterday.

Construction on the plant began in 2005 with total investment of VND6.4 trillion (US$300 million), 55 per cent of which came from Song Da Corporation.

The plant was built under the Build-Operate model about 17km from the Son La Hydroelectric Plant. It has the most complicated design of all the hydro-power generators in Viet Nam, including two turbines with total capacity of 200MW.

The remaining turbine is expected to generate power by the beginning of next month, said Nguyen Van Quan, general director of the Nam Chien Hydroelectric Joint-stock Company.

The plant will supply about 814 million kWh of power per year when fully operational. — VNS
