Pursuant to the Law on Organization of the Government dated December 25, 2001;
Pursuant to the Prime Minister's Decision No. 60/2002/QD-TTg of May 13, 2002 approving the overall planning for socio-economic development of Hanoi capital in the 2002-2010 period;
At the proposal of the Ministry of Industry (Official Dispatch No. 2154/BCN-KHDT dated June 10, 2002); opinions of the concerned ministries and branches regarding the approval of the planning on renovation and development of Hanoi's power network in the 2001-2010 period, with the prospect till 2020 taken into account,

DECIDES:

Article 1. To approve the planning on development and renovation of Hanoi's power network in the 2002-2010 period, with the prospect till 2020 taken into account (hereinafter called Hanoi's Electricity Planning for short) with the following principal contents:

1. On the load demand:

To steadily develop, raise the quality of, and fully satisfy the demand for load in service of people's daily life as well as socio-economic development, security and defense; to meet the requirements of the national industrialization and modernization, and ensure the achievement of Hanoi's socio-economic development objectives till 2010 and the realization of the development orientation till 2020. The load demand is forecasts as follows:

...

...

...

- By 2010: The commercial electricity output is expected to reach 7.9 to 8.4 billion kWh with the maximum capacity of 1,610 to 1,720 MW. The average electricity growth rate in the 2006-2010 period shall be 10.9 to 11.5%/year. The per-capita electricity output shall reach 2,625 kWh/person/year.

- By 2020: According to the orientation, the commercial electricity output shall reach 17.9 to 20.8 billion kWh with the maximum capacity of 3,610 to 4,193 MW. The average electricity growth rate in the 2011-2020 period shall be 8.5 to 9.5 %/year. The per-capita electricity output shall reach 4,160 kWh/person/year.

2. On the renovation and development of power network :

a) The renovation and development of Hanoi's power grid must aim to satisfy the above-said load demand, with a back-up, and be made synchronously from high-tension to low-tension networks, thus overcoming the current state of unsafe, patchy and high-loss power grid.

b) Viewpoint and standards for designing the diagram of the city's power transmission and distribution networks shall be as follows:

- 220 and 110 kV networks: Shall be designed in loop circuits with every transformer station energized by two sources. The wire cross-section for aerial 220 or 110 kV power lines shall be = 240 mm², where phrase-wire may be used. In the inner city, 220 or 110 kV power lines shall be designed with two or more circuits, while at places with urban aesthetic requirements, underground copper-core cable with appropriate cross-sections and transformer stations furnished with modern technologies (GIS, compact) shall be installed.

- Medium-tension distribution network: For the inner city, this network shall, according to the orientation, be converted into the standard voltage of 22 kV; for suburban areas, power lines of three voltage levels of 10,22 and 35 kV may be allowed to exist for the immediate future, but when the load demand rises high, they must all be standardized to 22 kV. Regarding the network structure, medium-tension lines in the inner city and adjacent areas shall be designed in loop circuits. In old quarters, thoroughfares, quarters with stable planning, new urban areas and places with high urban aesthetic requirements, underground, dry, copper-core XLPE-insulating cable with a cross section of = 240 mm² shall be used.

- Low-tension networks: Shall use the low-voltage (220/380V) three-phase four-conductor system. In the ancient street quarters and new urban areas, underground low-tension copper-core XLPE cable with a cross-section of >= 4 x 120 mm² shall be used. In other quarters, overhead PVC insulator-coated cable or bundled cable with a cross-section of 4 x 95 mm² - 4 x 120 mm²/ axial lines, or 4 x 50 mm² for ramification lines, or 2 x 25 mm² for lines connected to electric meters, shall be used.

c) Volumes of new construction and renovation of Hanoi's electric power network by the planning phases shall be as follows:

...

...

...

+ 220 kV power line: 45 km shall be newly built and 18 km shall be renovated.

+ 110 kV power line: 60.1 km shall be newly built and 71 km shall be renovated.

+ 220 kV transformer stations: Three new transformer stations with a total output of 1,500 MVA shall be built, while two existing stations shall be renovated with the total additional output of 375 MVA.

+ 110 kV transformer stations: 10 new transformer stations with a total output of 873 MVA shall be built, while 17 existing stations shall be renovated with the total output of 1,435 MVA

+ Medium-tension distribution network: 54.4 km of the 35 kV line and 1,568 km of the 22 kV line shall be newly built; while other 473 km shall be renovated and upgraded to 22 kV. To accelerate the underground installation of the medium-tension network, thus ensuring by 2010 the underground rate shall be 60%.

+ 3,561 new transformer stations shall be built with a total output of 1,522,143 kVA and 2,649 existing ones shall be renovated with the total output of 1,097,854 kVA.

+2,250 km of low-tension lines shall be newly built.

Projects and works for renovating and developing the power transmission grid in Hanoi City in the 2002-2010 period are on the list in the Appendix to this Decision. Particularly, the 220 kV network shall be in line with the Electricity Planning, phase V.

- Power network development works after 2010 shall be specifically identified when implementing Hanoi's power planning for the subsequent period.

...

...

...

To strive for the substantial renovation of the medium- and low-tension networks in rural areas by 2005, thus raising the power supply quality, minimizing power loss and achieving the objective that 100% of rural households shall be entitled to buy electricity at prices lower than the ceiling price set by the State.

3. On the investment capital demand:

The total investment capital demanded for the renovation and development of Hanoi's power network in the 2002-2010 period shall be VND 5,596.3 billion, of which VND 3,167 billion is demanded for the 2002-2005 period and VND 2,429.3 billion demanded for the 2006-2010 period. Investment capital for the 2002-2010 period shall be distributed to networks of various tensions as follows:

+ 220 kV network : VND 1,281 billion

+ 110 kV network : VND 904.4 billion

+ Medium-tension network : VND 2,693.9 billion

+ Low-tension network: VND 688.9 billion

+ Medium- and low-tension reactive power compensation : VND 28.1 billion.

The investment capital demand of the 220kV network or higher-tension networks shall be balanced within the Electricity Planning, phase V. Meanwhile in Hanoi's Electricity Planning, the investment capital demand shall be considered for the 110 kV network or lower-tension networks. The total investment capital demand for the 110 kV network and the medium- and low- tension distribution networks of the whole city in the 2002-2010 period shall be around VND 4,315.3 billion, of which the capital already incorporated in the plans shall be VND 520 billion.

...

...

...
