Along with the socio-economic development, the demand for electricity for production and business in Khanh Son district is increasing, so the current grid system cannot meet it.

Along with the socio-economic development, the demand for electricity for production and business in Khanh Son district is increasing, so the current grid system cannot meet it. Recently, chairing a meeting to listen to proposes to renovate and upgrade the power grid in the district, Le Huu Hoang - Standing Vice-chairman of Khanh Hoa Province People's Committee asked the electricity sector to review to have a plan to upgrade the grid.
 
Recently, Khanh Hoa Electricity Joint Stock Company (Khanh Hoa PC) has invested in many new power projects for Khanh Son. In the period of 2016 - 2021, the company invested more than 21 billion VND to implement projects and works to electrify areas according to the electrification program for countryside, to build and upgrade substations and to pull new lines. ... Particularly in 2021, the unit will invest in 6 work items with a capital of nearly 5 billion VND. In 2022, the electricity sector will continue to develop an investment plan to complete the system, supply electricity for production, to meet the demand for 3-phase electricity for production, for gardeners with a total cost of nearly 7 billion VND, especially in the dry season. However, in order for Khanh Son to have the conditions to develop, the power grid system must be upgraded soon to be able to meet the demand for energy.

In order to ensure the power supply for Khanh Son in 2023, Khanh Hoa PC has developed an investment plan for the power grid system in Thanh Son commune with an investment of more than 1.29 billion VND. At the same time, the company has also estimated to renovate medium-voltage lines; install low-voltage stations for production of local people in Son Lam and Son Trung communes, with an investment capital of 5.17 billion VND. However, leaders of the provincial People's Committee, departments and branches said that the electricity sector needs to upgrade and renovate Khanh Son power grid on a larger scale to meet the development needs of the locality. Along with upgrading the power grid, the electricity sector needs to invest in new power supply lines from Phuoc Binh commune of Bac Ai district (Ninh Thuan province) to Thanh Son commune of Khanh Son district. Besides, when the Yang Bay - Ta Gu road project starts, the electricity sector should also build one more line to bring electricity from Khanh Vinh to Khanh Son.
 
According to Le Thu Hai - Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, it is necessary to upgrade the power grid to serve the economic development of Khanh Son district. Currently, the power grid planning is available, but the capital is limited, so upgrading and investing once in the entire power grid is difficult. Therefore, the district and PC Khanh Hoa need to review the current status to assess the demand for electricity, from which there is a basis to prioritize investment. In the immediate future, works, projects and locations with urgent needs will be solved first in 2022 and 2023.
 
 
Le Huu Hoang - Standing Vice Chairman of Provincial People's Committee: The province agreed to upgrade Khanh Son power grid to serve the local socio-economic development; request Khanh Hoa PC to review low voltage power grid in the district to have a plan to upgrade the power grid, propose the Central Power Corporation to arrange capital for implementation. In case of the shortage of capital during the implementation process, the provincial People's Committee will facilitate loans from the provincial Development Investment Fund. The upgrade of the power grid should be done right in 2022 and 2023. The Department of Industry and Trade need base on the proposal of Khanh Son district to advise the provincial People's Committee to send the Central Power Corporation on upgrading this grid system.
