Quang Nam to build four hydropower plants in tremor-affected areasLocal authorities agreed on Wednesday on a plan to build four hydropower plants in the mountainous district of Nam Tra My in the central province of Quang Nam. Local residents protest the construction of four more hydropower plants in Quang Nam, saying that it would greatly affect their lives. Le Thi Thuy, head of the Quang Nam Department of Ethnicity, said “Quang Nam Province has the most hydropower plants in the country. Arguing against her, Ho Quang Buu, head of Nam Tra My District People’s Committee, denied the plants would have a negative impact. All four hydropower plants are designed on a small scale and their water will be supplied through a tunnel, with no consequences for the region.
