Currently, equipment installation of power unit 2 has also been completed up to 99%, striving to connect to the power grid before December 21, 2024 to practically celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Traditional Day of Vietnam Electricity (December 21, 1954 - December 21, 2024).
Ialy Expansion HPP has an installed capacity of 360MW, comprising of 2 units, owned by Vietnam Electricity (EVN). Power Project Management Board No.2 (EVNPMB2) is the Unit assigned by EVN to be the Owner’s Representative to execute project implementation. The Consultant preparing design of all phases of the project is Power Engineering Consulting JSC 1 (EVNPECC1).

The successful project helps increase ability to mobilize capacity for loads in the Southern region, especially during peak hours; contributes to improve operation mode of the power system, thereby contributing to reduce production cost of the system; utilizes maximum the flow capacity by limiting the annual excess discharge and increasing average annual electricity output value by about 233.20 million kWh/annum.

The project also contributes to reduce annual fuel costs, reducing CO2 emissions and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. It also reduces intensity and operating time of existing generating units, thereby extending lifetime of equipment, saving maintenance and repair costs.
