The Lao Government has given the green light for two private companies to carry out a feasibility study on the construction of a 220kV transmission line which would carry electricity from five dams in northern Laos to Vietnam.

VOV.VN - Super typhoon Rai, after pounding the Philippines and entering the East Sea, has weakened a bit but is expected to remain a powerful typhoon and head toward the central coast of Vietnam.

The Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) is planning to have all equipment on transmission lines and 80% of 110 kV circuit facilities digitalised from now to 2022.
