The plant will add around 650 million kWh a year to the national grid, making contribution to the province’s electricity need in dry season. The power is transmitted to the 220kV Hue-Dong Ha Transformer Station.

It will also provide more water to the Bo river for irrigation and aquatic culture as well as creates a beautiful eco-landscape for A Luoi District.
