Son La hydropower plant’s second generator starts test run

The commissioning of the 400MW second generator of Son La hydropower plant is all set April 20 after its test operation.

Generator 2 will supply 20 million kilowatt hours of power a day to the national grid.

Bui Phuong Nam, technical manager of Son La power plant project, noted that the water level at the plant’s reservoir has reached 195 meters, enough for running two generators of the mammoth power plant.

 Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung halso asked the investor and relevant agencies to start operating three more generators in 2010 and complete the whole project next year.
