Lai Chau (VNA) - Turbine group 2 with a capacity of 400 MW of the Lai Chau hydropower plant in northern Lai Chau province will provide electricity for the national grid on June 20 or 21.

According to Director of the Son La-Lai Chau Hydropower Plant Project Management Board Pham Hong Phuong, the turbine group, which has completed test run, will be put into official operation four or five days ahead of its schedule on June 25. It help ensure power supply in summer season.

The first 400MW turbine group of the plant was operational last year.
