The Power Project Management Board 3 under the Viet Nam Electricity (EVN) successfully energised the 110 kV Con Dao transformer station to supply electricity from the national grid to Con Dao Special Zone on September 4.
This project aimed to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).
It will ensure safe and stable electricity supply to Con Dao, facilitating socio-economic development and the improvement of local lives.
Con Dao having access to the national grid also means that it can rely less on on-site diesel power sources, thus decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing towards Viet Nam’s commitment on sustainable development.
The over 4.9 trillion VND project involved 103.7km of overhead lines, undersea cables and underground cables on the island. It began construction last December.
According to the People’s Committee of Con Dao Special Zone, this is an important milestone in the national infrastructure development strategy, and showcases the Government's and businesses’ eagerness in caring for the country’s island localities.
Con Dao is one of Vietnam’s most popular tourism attractions, with great historical importance. Ho Chi Minh City is focusing on turning Con Dao into a “green, smart, and sustainable island," while caring for the lives of local residents.
