A delegation of the Northern Power Corporation (NPC) led by its General Director Nguyen Duc Thien had a meeting with the Party Committee of Hoa Binh province on August 6 to discuss measures to remove difficulties in implementing power projects in the province.
The meeting saw the participation of Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member
of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee;
Quach Tat Liem, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee; leaders of
local departments and agencies; standing members of Party Committees of
districts and Hoa Binh city; and representatives from Hoa Binh Power Company.
Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary
of the provincial Party Committee, speaks at the meeting.
Currently, the NPC is implementing eight 110kV
projects in Hoa Binh province, including four new line transmission projects,
three new transformer station ones and another on a transmission line from the
Yen Thuy 220kV transformer station.
All the projects are expected to complete by
between the end of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Once completed, the
projects will help meet the electricity demand of cement factories, avoid
overload and ensure power supply for local socio-economic development.
In the 2021-2030 period, the province plans to
add eight industrial parks, bringing the total area of industrial parks to
3,569 ha. In the 2024-2025 period, the province’s total
registered capacity is 252.6MW; commercial electricity output by 2025 is
expected to be about 1.639 billion kWh, with average growth of 10.20% per year.
However, power projects in the province are
facing difficulties and obstacles relating to investment procedures, site
clearance, planning and prices.
The NPC proposed that the Hoa Binh provincial
People’s Committee will direct the People's Committees of districts and Hoa
Binh city to hand over land for power projects in advance and coordinate with
the Hoa Binh Power Company to compenstate households who have to relocate for
power works.
The NPC General Director agreed on the solutions
and orientations that delegates raised and discussed at the meeting. He hoped that in the coming time, Hoa Binh
province and the NPC will strengthen coordination in implementing the projects
and removing difficulties. He suggested assigning the Hoa Binh Power
Company with task of taking responbility for organsing the implementation of
the projects, and providing updated information for relevant parties. The Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
thanked the NPC for investing in power infrastructure and ensuring power supply
for the province’s production, businsess and people’s dailylife activities.
In the coming time, the province will promote
attracting investment from large enterprises to develop high-tech industry,
service tourism, clean agriculture, so its demand for electricity is very
large, Long noted, calling for further coordination with the power sector for
socio-economic development.
He asked the NPC to strengthen coordination with
the provincial departments and agencies to review planning, remove
difficulties, and direct activities of the Hoa Binh Power Company's activities. He also asked departments, agencies, People's
Committees of districts and Hoa Binh city to speed up the process of approving
investment proposals for power projects, completing site clearance
and improve the power supply system in the province.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
