NPT has awarded three contracts worth $39.5 million for the supply of high voltage equipment. Vietnam-based Thinh Phat, a real estate-cables joint stock company, has won two of the contracts worth $25.3 million. It would supply 220 kV optical groundwire conductors for the 500 kV Pleiku–My Phuoc–Cau Bong, as well as the 220 kV Cau Bong–Duc Hoa and the 220 kV Cau Bong–Hoc Mon–Binh Tan transmission lines. Siemens bagged the third contract, worth $14.2 million, to supply materials for the 500 kV Pho Noi substation. The contracts stem from the ADB-funded Power Transmission Investment Program.
