As many as 698 households in eight hamlets in Van Lang commune of Dong Hy district, northern Thai Nguyen province, have got access to the national grid after a project was completed on January 24.

The project was officially launched in August 2016, with the aim of facilitating poverty alleviation programmes and improving the living conditions of local people.
By the end of August 2016, 76 hamlets in five districts of Thai Nguyen province have yet to be connected to the national grid.
Besides Van Lang commune, the Thai Nguyen Electricity Company is carrying out a project to bring power to 1,226 households in eight other communes of Dong Hy district.
The project is estimated to cost VND18.7 billion (US$822,000) and is expected to be completed before July 2017.
