Vietnam’s Southern Power Corporation (EVN
SPC) and Italy’s Prysmian Powerlink SRL on Thursday struck an engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a 110-kV undersea cable line
connecting Phu Quoc Island and mainland Ha Tien town.
The
Italian firm will design, supply and install the powerline at a total cost of
nearly 67 million euros.
The
signing in HCMC of the deal was witnessed by high officials from the Government
Office, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Italian Embassy in Vietnam, the
World Bank in Vietnam and local authorities.
With a
length of 55.8 kilometers and a transmission capacity of 131 MW, the cable line
will start in Thuan Yen Commune in Kien Giang Province’s Ha Tien town and end
in Ham Ninh Commune on the resort island of Phu Quoc.
Scheduled
for completion next year, this project will need a total investment of around
VND2.5 trillion, which will be sourced from the World Bank and EVN SPC’s
budget.
In
addition to the EPC package, EVN SPC will implement other components to supply
electricity for Phu Quoc Island, including a 110-kV Kien Luong-Ha Tien 2 powerline,
a 110-kV Ha Tien substation, a 110-kV Phu Quoc line and a 110-kV Phu Quoc
substation.
Pham
Ngoc Le, deputy general director of EVN SPC, said that this project was aimed
at providing a stable power supply for the island and boost economic
development and power security there.
The
project will help reduce the electricity volume produced by current
diesel-fueled generators on Phu Quoc Island.
