Vietnam to import electricity from Laos for northern region

The construction of a 220kV transmission line from Nam Mo in Laos to Tuong Duong in Vietnam's north-central Nghe An province is part of an agreement signed by the two governments, under which Vietnam will import about 3,000 MW of electricity from Laos by 2025 and up to 5,000 MW by 2030. The new transmission line is expected to supply northern Vietnam.
