According to people’s committee Vice Chair Huynh Khanh Toan, the four projects will cover a total area of 144ha in the mountainous district of Nam Tra My with a total capacity of 78.8MW.

Toan said that the area is mostly forested land; so flooding it would not affect local farming and housing.
Among the four projects, Tra Leng Hydropower Plant in Tra Don District will have the largest capacity of 30MW.
Electricity supply for Nam Tra My District currently depends on the power line from Tam Ky City and is not stable during the rainy season.
The provincial people’s committee has proposed the local people’s council add the four projects to the province’s hydropower plant plans.
