To meet the need to release capacity for renewable energy sources and create socio-economic development momentum in the northern region of Kon Tum province, Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC) has just implemented the project. Improve transmission capacity of Dak Ha 110kV transmission line – Kon Tum 220kV transformer station.

The project has a total budget of about 68 billion VND from commercial loans and reciprocal capital of EVNCPC.

Accordingly, the 110 kV Dak Ha transmission line – the 20 kV Kon Tum transformer station is the lifeblood, supplying and transmitting electricity to the northern districts of Kon Tum province such as Dak Ha, Dak To, Ngoc Hoi, Dak Glei.

However, with the potential to develop renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity, wind power, and solar power, Kon Tum has attracted many businesses to invest in renewable energy projects.

This leads to the line’s capacity to carry the load not enough to release capacity, regularly implementing the reduction, causing damage to investors and affecting the local economy.

The project to improve transmission capacity of Dak Ha 110 kV transmission line – 220 kV Kon Tum substation was commenced by Kon Tum Power Company in March 2020, with the scale of new construction of dual-circuit lines from transformer station The 220 kV Kon Tum voltage to the Dak Ha 110 kV transformer station, more than 14 km in length, was newly built, replacing the entire old line with insufficient capacity with galvanized steel poles, using ACSR-300/39 conductors and the modern dual-circuit 110 kV line connection.

Currently, the project has been completed and energized by Kon Tum Power Company and put into use in March 2021. The completion and putting into operation of the project is very important in promoting the socio-economic development of the locality, contributing to ensuring energy security, improving electricity supply reliability and reducing losses. power failure in the northern districts of Kon Tum province.

Mr. Hoang Danh Chuyen’s family (village 1, Ha Mon commune, Dak Ha district) currently uses 1 transformer station to cultivate more than 17 hectares of coffee, fruit trees and fish ponds.

“When the line has not been upgraded yet, the current often flickers, sometimes power outages, so it is difficult for the family to focus on production. Now, the upgraded power line has helped to stabilize the power source, so irrigation with electric pumps is more convenient and economical. ”, Mr. Hoang Danh Chuyen shared.

In June 2020, Ngoc Wang Electricity Investment Joint Stock Company invested in building a roof-top solar power project on an area of ​​more than 8,000 m2, in Dak Ha district, with a total investment of 15 billion VND / MW. .

However, the capacity of the 110 kV Dak Ha transmission line is limited, so the company’s revenue is only 180 million dong / month.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ngoc Wang Electricity Investment Joint Stock Company shared, when the 110 kV Dak Ha line was invested and upgraded, the electricity system was transferred smoothly, no an overload occurs; from there, helping the company’s revenue to reach more than 300 million / month.

Electricity supply protection and capacity transmission to the national power system.
