Of the total amount, 131.4 billion VND (5.8 million USD) has been invested in low- and medium-voltage transmission lines and transformation stations. The remainder has been used for the upgrade of medium-voltage transmission lines to ensure the safety of the national power grid.

The firm has fulfilled 55.26 percent of the target set for the whole year, he noted.

In addition, repairs and upgrades were also made to various power works to ensure safety from potential floods during the rainy season.
