Vietnam: Cao Bang's last remote commune accesses power

Vietnam: Cao Bang's last remote commune accesses power

Son Lap commune in Bao Lac district has become the last commune in the
northern mountainous province of Cao Bang to access electricity from the
national power grid.

Total investment for the project to supply power to the remote commune is
23.83 billion VND (1.05 million USD). The project includes 6.738km of 35kV
middle-voltage transmission line, three transformer stations with a total
capacity of 300kVA, and 9,379km of low-voltage line.

Located about 140km from Cao Bang city, Son Lap commune covers over 4,000
hectares with many high rocky mountains. Its residents are mostly from
ethnic minority groups, including Mong, Dao, Tay and Nung.

The majority of local households are poor, with backward customs and low
literacy.

The project, invested by the Electricity of Vietnam's Northern Power
Corporation (EVN NPC), is expected to improve socio-economic situation in
the localities, while enhancing political-social awareness of locals
