10 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. DISTRIBUTION EFFICIENCY PROJECT (DEP) The development objective of the proposed project is to improve efficiency, availability and reliability level in power supply as well as power using efficiency. This objective will be achieved through three-component implementation: (i) Strengthening and expanding the power system including constructing and strengthening the 110 kv grid, medium voltage and low voltage (including transformer stations ) and (ii) Introducing the smart grid technology in power distribution (focusing on automatizing the distribution power grid and introducing the modern metering system), and (iii) Technical assistance and capacity building. The three components will be done by 05 General Electric Company*, and Component 3 be made by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. To maximize initial impact, the Component 2 will begin by focusing on the main distribution stations and other customers who use much electricity. The co-sponsor-ctf Fund were proposed for this component and CTF Committee has endorsed the proposed project. The Electricity Corporations which are co-sponsored by the CTF, will be selected basing on the corporations readiness and capacity in the preparation and implementation of the modern smart grid projects. At this stage, there are 03 Electricity Corporations which are being considered including NPC, and HNPC HCMPC. To implement the subproject components, it is necessary to acquire land. However, the upgrading and rehabitating distribution grids and the existing transformer stations will not cause the land acquisition and resettlement on a large scale. In this project, the land acquisition is only done in the sub-projects of component 1. Sub-projects in the north provinces will be made by the NPC, focusing on restoring and expanding the power distribution system from the 110 kv, including distribution lines, transformer stations 110kV 35kV; 22kV; and 0.4 kv. of the subproject Improving medium and low voltage grid - Tuyen Quang province is made under the Policy Framework of Distribution Efficiency Project THE SUBPROJECT IMPROVING MEDIUM, LOW VOLTAGE POWER GRID TUYEN QUANG PROVINCE The subproject Improving medium, low voltage grid - will be spread over 26 communes including Kim Phu, Phu Thinh, Nhu Han, Tan Long, Tan Tien in Yen Son district; Duc Ninh, Thai Son, Thai Hoa, Binh Xa, Minh Dan, Minh Khuong in Ham Yen district; Van Phu, Tuan Lo, Dai Phu, Van Son, Dong Loi in Son Duong district; Hoa Phu, Phuc Thinh, Tan Thinh, Kim Binh, Trung Hoa in Chiem Hoa district; Lang Can, Con Lon, Son Phu, Yen Hoa, Thuong Nong in Na Hang district (See the Appendix 1: Map of project area). Sub-projects aimed at: - Anti-grid overload for the grid of project areas; - To reduce power losses, to improve the quality of power supply, for the project areas in order to serve production and business activities in rural areas; - To meet the electricity using demand for present and future socio-economic development of the project communes; - The project will contribute to poverty reduction programs in rural areas of the Government by providing basic infrastructure, particularly electricity; Page 10/75
