Over two decades, the cooperation has grown to include four 220 kV lines, with a total electricity exchange of 42.3 billion kWh, ensuring a stable energy supply and fostering economic growth in border regions.

Hoang Quoc Khanh, Vice Chairman of Lao Cai Provincial People’s Committee, praised its role in driving Lao Cai’s socio-economic development, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of life.
The event included cultural exchanges, a gala dinner, and a tree-planting ceremony at the 110 kV Lao Cai substation, symbolising the lasting connection between the two corporations.
Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the partnership, which not only supports energy needs but also represents the friendship and sustainable development between Vietnam and China.
