While
in Hoa Binh, the PM and his entourage offered incense at late President Ho Chi
Minh’s monument at the Hoa Binh hydroelectric plant.
He then came to inspect the construction site of
the expanded Hoa Binh hydropower plant. Kicked off in January, 2021, the
project worth 9.22 trillion VND (387.64 million USD) invested by the
Electricity Vietnam (EVN) aims to increase the peak coverage capacity for the
national power system, improve its frequency regulation and frequency
stability, and exploit the annual excess water discharged in the flood season
of the existing Hoa Binh hydropower plant. The constructor is now working
toward the completion of two turbines within 2025.
Lauding efforts by the investment and
construction sides in tackling problems and ensuring safety for the project so
far, Chinh highlighted the importance of the existing plant and the expanded
one serving the national energy security.
He urged them to ensure quality, progress, and
environmental protection.
As part of his trip to Hoa Binh, the PM also
visited 97-year-old Heroic Mother Nguyen Thi Cho whose two children laid down
their lives for the independence and freedom of the fatherland. Wishing her
good health, Chinh stated the Party, State and people always remember the
contributions and sacrifices of families with meritorious services to the
national revolution and pay attention to caring for them.
Touring a 1.3-ha social housing project invested
by the Sao Vang real estate joint stock company in Quynh Lam ward in Hoa Binh
city, Chinh spoke highly of efforts by the investor for the implementation of
the 738-billion-VND project. Beginning in December, 2020, the building is
expected to finish in February this year.
Visiting households living in social houses,
Chinh requested relevant competent agencies and financial units to assist them
in accessing credit sources and stabilising their lives./.
