Hydropower potential Meteo-hydrological features The country area is 328,000 km 2 where 3 fourth is mountains and highlands. The length from the North to the South is 1,630 km. The climate is tropical, rainy season in the North and the South is from June to November, in the Central Highland is from August to December. The mean annual rainfall is 2,000 mm, maximum is 4,000 – 5,000 mm, minimum is 1,000 mm. There are 2,400 rivers and riverlets with the length over 10 km. Most of them enter the Pacific Ocean with 870 km 3 /year (37,500 m 3 /s). Cua Dat Hydropower Plant with capacity of 99 MW in a multipurpose hydraulic system Hydropower potential Theoretical hydropower potential is 300 billion kWh (2,400 rivers and riverlets). Technical potential is 123 billion kWh corresponding with 31,000 MW. Techno- economical potential is 75 – 80 kWh corresponding with 18,000 – 20,000 MW. Up to now the total installed capacity is 4,200 MW with annual energy production of 18 billion kWh, occupying 20% of total economical potential. There are 300 small and mini hydropower projects (up to 30 MW) with total capacity of 2,00 – 2,500 MW and 8 – 10 billion kWh. There are 10 planning pump-storaged projects with total capacity of 10,000 MW. The pre-FS is under implementation for East Phu Yen (Son La province, 1,200 MW) and Bac Ai (Ninh Thuan province, 1,000 MW). 4. Power plants under operation and hydroprojects under construction up to 2010 Power plants under operation Total capacity is 4,198 MW of 11 hydropower plants and small hydro plants including: Hoa Binh (1920 MW), Yali (720 MW), Tri An (400 MW), Ham Thuan (300 MW), Dami (175 MW), Da Nhim (160 MW), Thac Mo (150 MW), Thac Ba (108 MW), Can Don (78 MW), Song Hinh (70 MW), Vinh Son (66 MW) and small hydropower (50 MW). Hydropower projects under construction Total capacity is 6,768 MW of 20 hydropower projects done by EVN, in which Son La is the biggest one (2,400 MW, 6 units of 400 MW), planning to be commisioned at the end of 2010.
