Vietnam: Grid power comes to Kien Giang's Island communes

The Southern Power Corporation under the Electricity of Vietnam on November
26 fired up an 110kV cross-sea transmission line to supply electricity to
Lai Son Island of the southern province of Kien Giang.

With a total length of 43.9km, including 19.4km on land and 24.5km at sea,
the An Bien-Lai Son 110kV transmission line is the longest in Vietnam.

The line, whose construction commenced in September 2015, is among projects
providing power for island communes in Kien Hai, Kien Luong and Phu Quoc
districts and Ha Tien town.

As many as 2,000 households on the island are expected to benefit from the
VND 368 billion (USD 16.3 million) project.

The line will help promote socio-economic development, especially maritime
economy, in Lai Son Island in particular and Kien Giang province in general.

The Southern Power Corporation plans to build more transmission lines to
connect other islands in Kien Giang to the national grid, contributing to
developing the maritime economy and forming an island system in the
country's southwestern waters.
