DEVELOPMENT OF POWER TRANSMISS ION GRID
The State will make further investment in the national power transmission grids to bring their development in line with the national and local power development plans, increase the reliability of power supply, reduce power losses during transmission and ensure favourable mobilisation of power sources in the rainy season and dry season and in all operation regimes of the power market in Vietnam. The national power transmission grids will be improved to comply with N-1 criterion. Whilst voltage level of 500kV will remain the main super-high voltage for power transmission in Vietnam, the State will carry out further research on the development of power transmission networks at voltage levels of 750kV, 1000kV and by high voltage direct current transmission system after 2020.
