The line, whose construction commenced in September 2015, is among projects providing power for island communes in Kien Hai, Kien Luong and Phu Quoc districts and Ha Tien town
As many as 2,000 households in the island are expected to benefit from the VND368 billion (US$16.3 million) project.
The line will help promote socio-economic development, especially maritime economy, in Lai Son island in particular and Kien Giang province in general.
The Southern Power Corporation plans to build more transmission lines to connect other islands in Kien Giang to the national grid, contributing to developing the maritime economy and forming an island system in the country’s southwestern waters.
