The rotor of the second turbine has been successfully installed at the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant expansion project in the former province of Hoa Binh, now part of  the northern province of Phu Tho.

This marks a crucial milestone in the project, paving the way for the next phases of electromechanical assembly, testing, and operation. The second turbine is expected to begin power generation in November, with the entire project slated for completion by the end of this year.

The first turbine was successfully installed on August 19.

The expansion project includes two turbines with a combined capacity of 480 MW and an average annual output of 490 million kWh. Total investment exceeds VND9.22 trillion ($349.7 million).
