The authorities in Quang Tri Province attended the opening ceremony of Dakrong 4 Hydropower Plant on December 13. The project is invested by Son Hai Hydroelectric Joint Stock Company Quang Tri.

Nguyen Duc Chinh, chairman of Quang Tri People's Committee, said the project cost VND1.4trn (USD60.0m) with a 28-metre high and 183-metre long dam. The plant will be able to produce 85 million Kwh a year.

The investor also contributed VND60bn (USD2.6m) to the provincial budget and spent VND46bn on upgrading the roads to the construction site and the residential area.

"One more hydropower project completed means Quang Tri has become nearer to the goal of becoming central region's power centre," Chinh said.

The hydropower plant has been put into operation for a short time and earned VND7bn in revenue.

Quang Tri has contributed a huge amount of money to the state budget from its various power projects including solar and wind power projects that have high capacity.
