China to Transmit Electricity to Southeast Asia
BEIJING, Oct 10, 2006 - SinoCast
The first Sino-Vietnam 220-KV Electricity Transmission
Line has been formally put into production. China
Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd. (CSG) has started to
transmit electricity to North Vietnam.
CSG is the first Chinese electric power enterprise
that has cooperation with foreign country. As
early as October 31, 2005, CSG had reached Electricity
Sales Agreement with Vietnam and this Electricity
Transmission Line was constructed this February. At
present, the second Sino-Vietnam 220-KV electricity
transmission line is being constructed and it is planned
to come into production in April 2007. Moreover, the
500-KV electricity transmission line between China
and Vietnam is in progress.
Under the situation of shortage of energy, Chinese
enterprises are playing an active part in international
competition. China is speeding up the pace for
cooperation and exchanges with such sub-regional areas
as Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and the Philippines in
the field of electric power, like development of electric
resources and establishment of power plants.
