Toshiba Corporation announced that all the hydropower turbines and generators of units 1 to 4 at the Trung Son Hydro Power Station, manufactured by Toshiba Hydro Power (Hangzhou) Company Ltd, have started commercial operation.

The 260MW plant was financed by the World Bank through its first ever loan to Việt Nam, and combines drought and flood control with electricity supply.

Takao Konishi, vice president of the thermal & hydro power systems & services division at Toshiba Corporation's Energy Systems & Solutions Company said: “Toshiba has over 120 years’ experience in delivering high-quality hydropower systems for projects around the world. We are also very pleased to support Viet Nam in meeting its fast rising energy demand, and will continue to provide support as the Vietnamese economy continues to grow.”

In Viet Nam, hydropower accounts for half the total installed capacity of 34GW.

The Government is responding to growing demand with an expansion plan that will raise capacity to 75GW in 2020 and 146.8GW by 2030. — VNS
