DAK BA HYDROPOWER PROJECT

The Dak Ba hydropower plant has an installed capacity of 30MW and an average annual power output of 100.43 million kWh. With an expected annual revenue of approximately VND 130 billion, the plant is projected to contribute over VND 20 billion to the local budget, bolstering the socio-economic growth and economic restructuring of Son Tay District, which is a remote, mountainous area of Quang Ngai province. 

The project's operational framework contains a run-of-river combined with a spillway dam on Dak Ba stream, an energy route in penstocks on the left dam side (the energy route includes water intake – penstocks - outflow), an open-air power plant located in the Son Tay district's urban area, and spillway channels returning water to Lay stream that flows into the Dak Drinh river.
