Dai Ninh is a hydroelectric power generation facility located in Vietnam, precisely at coordinates 11.6499° N and 108.3202° E. Commissioned in 2008 and operated by Vietnam Electricity (EVN), Dai Ninh has a significant capacity of 300 MW, playing a crucial role in the country’s energy landscape. The facility utilizes dam technology to harness the power of flowing water, converting it into electricity in a sustainable manner. Hydropower is a key component of Vietnam's energy strategy, providing a reliable source of renewable energy that contributes to the nation’s growing electricity demands. The strategic location of Dai Ninh in a region rich in water resources enhances its operational efficiency and capacity for energy generation. As Vietnam continues to develop its energy infrastructure, the Dai Ninh plant supports the local grid by providing clean, renewable electricity to surrounding communities. The operation of this hydroelectric facility aligns with national energy policies aimed at increasing the share of renewable energy in the energy mix, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impacts. The significance of Dai Ninh extends beyond energy generation; it also aids in flood control and irrigation, further benefiting the local ecosystem and agricultural activities.
