LS Eco Energy lands $33 million UHV cable order for Vietnam grid project

LS-VINA will supply $33 million in 220 kV ultra-high voltage cables for a major grid expansion in Hanoi led by EVN. The project supports Vietnamโ€™s plan to double generation capacity by 2030, with LS-VINA leveraging its Haiphong plant to deliver nearly half the national cable demand.

LS-VINA, a subsidiary of LS Eco Energy, will supplyย $33 millionย in ultra-high voltage cables for a new grid construction project led byย Vietnam Electricity (EVN). As a result, the project strengthens Hanoiโ€™s power network and helps meet fast-growing electricity demand in the capital and nearby districts.

The EVN grid project targets both central Hanoi and suburban areas with a newย 220 kV national transmission network. Moreover, it supports Vietnamโ€™s strategy to secure reliable power for cities, industry, and infrastructure. EVN plans to raise installed generation capacity fromย 69 GWย toย more than 150 GW by 2030ย and build overย 16,000 km of new 220 kV linesย nationwide.

LS Eco Energyโ€™sย Haiphong facilityย can produce up toย 100,000 tonsย of cable material each year, making it theย largest cable plant in Vietnam. Consequently, that capacity covers a large share of the countryโ€™s estimatedย 200,000-ton annual cable demand, with LSโ€‘VINA supplying nearlyย half of the total volume.

LSโ€‘VINA holds about anย 80% market shareย in Vietnamโ€™sย 220 kV cableย segment. In addition, it is theย only manufacturer in the countryย capable of producing cables at this voltage level. Therefore, LSโ€‘VINA plays a key role in Vietnamโ€™s grid expansion and long-term energy development plans.
