More than a quarter of a century has passed, but stories and emotions about the period of construction of the North-South 500kV transmission line (circuit 1) are still intact in the memories of many generations of the electricity industry.
Going back in time to the 90s of the twentieth century and the years after the country’s renovation, each of us feels and understands the situation of excess electricity in the North and chronic lack of electricity in the Central and South. our country.

North-South 500kV transmission line passing through Hai Van Pass (Da Nang) Also from the situation of “two evenings, one morning” and the urgent requirements of reality, in February 1992, the late Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet approved the technical and economic justification for the construction of a 500kV power transmission line. North South. On April 5, 1992, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the North – South 500kV transmission line was held simultaneously in many provinces: Hoa Binh, Quang Nam – Da Nang, Dak Lak… The special feature of the construction The construction of the North-South 500kV transmission line was the construction period within two years, an extremely difficult time for the staff of the energy industry at that time. Workers of Power Transmission Company 2 (PTC2) repair the North-South 500kV transmission line Using a helicopter to check the 500kV North-South transmission line With the spirit of determination of the industry, the close direction of the Government, all levels, and the support of the people, May 27, 1994 went down in the history of the energy industry when the North-South 500kV transmission line was officially launched. put into operation, bringing electricity from the North to the Central and the South. Workers repair the 500kV North-South transmission line carrying current After 27 years of operation, the North-South 500kV transmission line has constantly promoted its role and great efficiency in power transmission, making an important contribution to the country’s socio-economic development. This is also the project that brings the highest efficiency on the total investment capital of the industry and opens the period of modernization of the electricity industry. At the same time, laying the starting foundation for the development of the national power transmission grid. On the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the energizing and operation of the 500kV line, circuit 1, the National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT) would like to introduce the book “North-South 500kV transmission line – The turning point of Vietnam’s electricity industry”. ” (link: http://www.npt.com.vn/d6/en-VN/news/Sach-Duong-day-500-kV-Bac-Nam-Buoc-ngoat-cua-nganh-Dien-Viet- Male-5-242-4939). The book is a grateful gift for the people who made history, directly participated in the construction of the North-South 500kV transmission line and generations of officials and employees of the electricity industry in general, the transmission field. Electricity in particular has always accompanied and joined hands to build and develop EVNNPT more and more strongly.
