Located about 9km away from the Thac Ba hydropower plant, the new power facility has a designed capacity of 18.9 MW with 3 turbines. It covers some 153ha of lands in the Thac Ba township and communes of Han Da, Yen Binh, and Vinh Kien in Yen Binh as well as in Tuyen Quang province’s My Bang commune and Yen Son district.

Its construction cost is estimated to near 575 billion VND (23.5 million USD).

Considered a green project, it is expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2025. Its operation will contribute some 70.2 million KWh of electricity to the national grid annually.
