Trungnam Krong Noâ Hydro-power Joint Stock Company and Red River Hydro-Power No 7 JSC will invest VND100 billion (US$5 million) to build the 26-kilometre, 110KV line.
Trungnam Krong No is building the 46MW Krong No.2 and 3 Hydro-Power Plants at an estimated cost of VND1.15 trillion ($57.5 million).
