Plans to ensure safety of Hoa Binh, Son La hydroelectric reservoirsThe Government has mapped out plans to ensure the safety of reservoirs at the Hoa Binh and Son La hydroelectric plants, two of the country’s largest, said Tran Quang Hoai, permanent member of the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control. "According to the plan, we are not allowed to let the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant’s dam break. Over the past three years, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) removed 471 hydroelectric projects, including eight large hydropower projects and 463 small hydropower projects, due to problems with the projects. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant is located in the northern province of Hoa Binh on the Da River. The Son La Hydropower Plant is also on the Da River in Muong La district in the northern province of Son La.
