VietNamNet Bridge – The Son La Hydropower Plant, the largest project in Southeast Asia, is not only the pride of the country but it also marks an outstanding growth of the electric sector of Vietnam today.

 VietNamNet Bridge – Although the landmark 2,400 megawatt Son La hydropower plant was plugged into the national power grid not long ago, the potential for electricity shortages still loom across Vietnam.

The Son La hydro-electric power plant, the largest of its kind in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, was inaugurated three years ahead of schedule in Son La province on December 23.

Minister of Construction Trinh Dinh Dung affirmed that the Son La hydropower plant meets the design requirements and the conditions to be put into use. The completion of 3 years ahead of schedule benefits the country with $2 billion.
