Lilama 10 – Demonstrating Excellence at a Key Technical Milestone: Successful Installation of the Rotor for Unit No. 2 at the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project

07.10.2025

On the morning of October 7, 2025, at the construction site of the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project, under the direction of the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) and the Power Project Management Board No. 1 (EVNPMB1), the engineers and workers of Lilama 10 Joint Stock Company successfully completed the installation of the rotor for Unit No. 2 — a crucial technical milestone marking significant progress toward the project’s completion.

The rotor of Unit No. 2, weighing over 600 tons after assembly, was designed, manufactured, and installed with extreme precision to ensure perfect alignment with the statorturbine, and the plant’s auxiliary systems. The successful completion of this major component paves the way for the next phase — the installation of electromechanical equipment, commissioning, and operation of the unit, scheduled for December 2025.

During the construction process, Lilama 10 undertook a critical scope of work, including the fabrication and installation of all hydro-mechanical components, as well as the manufacture and installation of the pressure pipeline system and key project equipment. Despite the complex construction conditions, the Lilama 10 teammanaged the work scientifically and efficiently, ensuring safety, quality, and schedule compliance throughout the entire process.

The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant Expansion Project has a total investment of over VND 9,220 billion, comprising two generating units with a total installed capacity of 480 MW (2×240 MW). Once operational, the plant is expected to supply approximately 488–490 million kWh per year to the national power grid.

Leaders, engineers, and staff of Lilama 10 Joint Stock Company take a commemorative photo following the successful installation of the Rotor for Unit No. 2.

The successful installation of the Rotor for Unit No. 2 is not only the result of an intense construction phase but also a testament to Lilama 10’s capability and reputation as a key contractor in national power generation projects. Guided by the motto “Safety – Quality – Progress”, Lilama 10 is committed to continuing to mobilize its resources and technology to ensure the timely commissioning of Unit No. 2, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s energy sector.
