The main scope of the project includes: Construction of new 500/220kV substation with a scale of 02 transformers 500/220/35kV - 900MVA, in this phase complete installation of 01 transformer 500/220/35kV - 900MVA, installation of 220kV and 500kV bays.

After completion, the project will help improve power supply reliability for Ho Chi Minh city and the southern economic development region. Support capacity and prevent overload for 500kV Song May and Tan Dinh substations, ensuring safe operation of the power transmission system.

Project scope: Construction of new 500kV Binh Duong 1 - Chon Thanh transmission line with a length of approximately 16.5 km from 500kV Binh Duong 1 substation to 500kV Chon Thanh substation. Construction of 500kV bay on pre-reserved land at existing 500kV Chon Thanh substation. The project has been assigned by EVNNPT to the Southern Power Project Management Board (SPMB) for management and operation.

Foundation excavation construction for the 500kV Binh Duong 1 - Chon Thanh transmission line project

The project’s objective is to support reducing transmission capacity on the 500kV Chon Thanh - Cau Bong transmission line, ensuring continuous and stable power transmission from the Central - Central Highlands region to the South; creating strong connections between the Central and Southern power systems. 

Currently, the project is in the phase of implementing foundation excavation construction, while conducting land clearance.
