The Ialy Hydropower Plant expansion project, with Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) as the investor, is a national key project that began construction in mid-2021.

The expansion has a design capacity of 360 megawatts, consisting of two turbines.

When operational, the facility will increase power generation capacity for the national power grid, especially during peak hours. It will optimise water resource utilisation and increase average annual power generation by approximately 233 million kWh/year.

The project also contributes to reducing carbon emissions and decreasing the intensity and operating time of existing turbines, thereby extending equipment lifespan and saving maintenance and repair costs.

Previously, the first turbine of the Ialy Hydropower Plant expansion project was successfully connected to the national power grid on November 26.
